Help!!! Migraine during BM

[Mccuurr]

A week ago I went to the restroom and was in the process of a BM and got the worst headache starting from my neck to the top of my head. I went straight to ER and cat scan was performed and showed nothing. 3 days later I was having stomach pain went to the restroom didn't make it to have the BM and got the same headache went straight to ER given meds and home.  Yesterday morning stomach started hurting went to restroom sat down to have BM and same headache went straight back to ER this time they gave another cat scan and it came back normal and they decided to do a spinal tap all four samples had blood which isn't supposed to.  They shipped me to a bigger hospital for a different cat scan nothing showed up some an mri nothing showed up.  They discharged me.  I am now to the point where I an afraid to have a BM. The doctors never looked at my rectum or my stomach.  Please someone tell me I'm not alone and what I can do to prevent these headaches from coming back. I can't hold these bm  forever. Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the Migraines & Headaches Community.

You need to see your PCP for follow ups. They should have told you that at the ER.

Try taking some Magnesium Citrate to help with BM and headache.

Also to help with BM...a combination of Miralax and Milk of Magnesia (which is also a different form of magnesium)

Milk of mag is the mover, Miralax is only a softener.
Drink lots of water
