j thought  is was crazy this happens to me often I am scare to have a bm because of the inteity of the pain my whole head feel as if it may explode I need help been fighting this headach four yearswhat do I need to do

it might help, but i wonder if it has something to do with posture and maybe diet. i had an episode today, not my first, i was on my laptop with my neck and head craned forward for a while, i needed to go to the loo, then as i was sitting on the throne, i had the pressure surge and pain.

i have had neck problems for years and feel this maybe related to the horrible feeling, it sure is scary, but kind of comforting knowing i am not alone with this, it could be a BP thing, i smoke tobacco and drink to much coffee. i am going to change to decaff, cut down on the bacci and also chocolate, if you consume these in more quantities than you should it must have some effect on your health, so could also be linked to this horrible feeling. if it continues i will go to the doctor, been feeling really stressed as well of late, so this could also be a factor.try not to panic and worry, its out of your control so doing so could make things worse. good luck people and i hope things improve for you.

I also have this same problem and definitely don't drink enough water and have heard this could be the possible problem. i've tried drinking more water and found that when I do I'm less apt to get these attacks.

My name is Denise and I have this same problem and most of these attacks happen when I use an enema but not all the time. I am afraid to have a bm because of the intense pain and all I can do is scream for help also. Like your wife Ive been to the er and had a ct scan and blood work and they found nothing. i have an appt. with a neurologist and if I find anything out I will let you know. Ive heard it could be an increase of bllod pressure at the time of the bm, dehydration, or a nerve in the back of the neck flaring up. Whatever it is I can definitely sympathize. Even though it usually lasts me about 20 minutes its 20 minutes of torture. Please let me know if you find out anything.

Hey Ive just experienced what you went through while taking a BM. I just got released from the hospital still having pains for the BM without any explination why. They did CT scans. MRIs, and even lumbar punctures and all still came up negative. Now home Im wondering what the hell this is and is there anything possible to reduce these "attacks"
