Bowel issues

[Cares179]

Does anybody else find that when you get diarrhea or if your constipated that you feel dizzy and have extra anxiety?? Feeling like this today and it sucks

Anxiety will cause diarrhea and/or constipation. Or, if we get those bowel issues from other source (poor diet, viral infection) it can cause our anxiety to sky-rocket. It's a chicken and egg thing and one can cause the other in both cases. Anyway, you have to deal with the anxiety through breathing and acceptance and deal with the bowel issues with diet and sometimes OTC meds like Pepto or for constipation laxatives. Eat very healthy and accept that your body needs to relax, especially your tummy. Everything throws us anxiety sufferers into a tizzy, so stay strong. It's just anxiety or it's just a normal digestive issue that everyone in the world suffers from time to time.
