sudden headache when having bowel movement

have a sudden headache when having bowel movement and the bowel movement is soft.

Same thing happened to me after post surgery X one week, I had extremely painful headaches which would start during each bowel movement.

Sorry I don't have an answer to this topic. I too have been suffering from this problem for the past month.

I KNOW MY WATER IN-TAKE HAS BEEN LESSENED. This I intend to get back on rack, that is drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. If I get improvement I will write about it. I am to see my MD. 10 days.

I don't have an answer either, but I suffer from this as well. I feel it coming on and is usually during a bowel movement, which is normally set off by rolling of my stomach, loose bowels, then the pounding of my head. It's to the point where it scares me. I fear there's either going to be a stroke/blood clot passed, etc......Not sure of the water intake even though that's always a good thing because I eat 2 packets of oatmeal everyday in order to keep things moving. I have had this episode as recent as yesterday and today I'm still experiencing a "sore/slight" headache. Definitely wish I could get some answers to this mystery as I have suffered with them on/off for the past 13 years. My sister has also experienced these, but not as often as I have. Please pass along any information if you have any suggestions/diagnosises. THANKS!!

Me too. Bowel movements (loose) can also cause me to feel ill in general and fatigued, sometimes for a few days. I have being visiting a GI doc for almost year about this and have been scoped from one end to the other and have had an abdominal MRI, and other tests. The only thing of signifance found so far is that I am malabsorbing fat. This is usually related to problems with the pancreas, but the MRI looked good. I've been experiencing this problem for at least 15 years and it is usually eposodic with peroids where it happens frequently followed by periods of less activity.

I have been having the same exact problem. Started Sunday night, happened again on Tues and Wed. I got very scared considering we have Fam HX of Aneurisims(sp) Went to the ER and had a CT HEAD and it was norm. They then wanted to do a Spinal Tap to see if there was bleeding in my brain but i wouldnt let them. If it happens again, i will def. be seeing a neurologist.
This is by far the weirdest thing!!!! Going to the ER and trying to explain this one was making me look like a loonatic!!!
