Tumour, Anurism(SP) or worse due to straining on loo

[Jitters]

Hi all

I suffer with IBS and unfortuanlty I have gotten into the habit of straining recently I have noticed that after straining It can bring on derealization but I am at the point now that I do not know if I am worried because I strained or the preasure to the head is causing it or a Tumour doctor said its nothing to worry about but I am so worried :-(

Please can someone help

If by 'derealisation' you mean you feel a bit spaced out, light-headed, then this is a normal thing to happen if you are straining so much. Just a bit of a head rush thing, not a brain tumour.
