    IBS related?

    Hello everyone.
    Lately i'vebeen getting weird episodes, I remember having them before and it really doesn't feel nice at all.
    First it starts with me feeling numb and a bit confused and brain foggy then i start to get really hot and sweaty and then my arm feels weak and heavy (I couldn't open my glasses case during it) and then i start to get bad bowel cramps and IBS symptoms. But the weird thing is is that it always goes away when I go for a poo.
    I'm not sure whether it is IBS related but it mostly comes before an attack,maybe a weird reaction and I'm considering seeing a doctor about it since when it happens it's quite scary. Anyone else have similar symptoms?
    I have been very anxious and depressed lately and I had a horrible IBS attack last week where i broke out in a full blown sweat whilst having a runny tummy on the toilet

    Hi,
    this sounds to me like a mix of a panic attack and an IBS attack which can be very similar.
    I think see a Dr who can a)reassure you it's nothing to worry about and b)give you some help to try to manage the IBS.
    Best wishes and hugs
