My dizzy feeling subsides after bowel movement. Why?

Question

Hello doctor,

Since a few days, I have had heavy head and stiff neck problem. My head really feels heavy at the end of the day. My neck remains very stiff. I have consulted a neurologist and taking Inderal 10, Shine 10, Naproxen, Nexium and Sibelium. Sometimes, my head trembles too much and neck becomes really stiff. I feel as if I faint and the feel subsides only after bowel movements and passing out. Do I have any gastrointestinal problem? My bowel movements have increased from once to thrice a day for almost five days of the week for nearly two months. Am I suffering from colorectal cancer?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please have a consultation with a surgeon or surgical gastroenterologist to rule out fissure-in-ano.

You need to have a colonoscopy as a baseline to rule out colorectal cancer.

Even after these if you have symptoms, then we can start drugs to control the bowel motility, but not without colonoscopy.

As of now I am unable to correlate the symptoms to gastrointestinal pathology. I will take it forward after seeing the colonoscopy.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is very safe with experienced hands. Do not worry about it. If you worry about these things after seeing the details on the internet, then life will be very much stressful.

Still, if you are worried, then consider virtual colonoscopy, a CT scan reconstruction, which will show the major pathology. Drawback will be that a biopsy cannot be taken if wanted.
