Why am I light-headed after a session?

Would anyone know what causes me to be light-headed after my enema session?

I am a novice, but aware & fast learner. I've only solo

played via my shower enema nozzle. I usually do about 3 cleanses, only hold about 5-10 minutes

each, retaining approx 1.5-2 quarts towards the end (best guess). I am a petite female. I usually fill on all fours and then stand to retain and am fine during this process.

When I am completed my session I am often light-headed, a bit lethargic and tired. I then usually replenish with electrolytes and have a light snack. There are no orgasms during this time-frame (yet, lol).

Is this norm and what may be the cause? Tips????

This often happens to me too but I think you've hit the nail on the head when you mention electrolytes. Three 1.5 to 2 quart enemas in a short time period for a person your size could mean that your electrolyte imbalance is temporarily out of whack. Might I suggest using a bag and adding some salt to the water?

Also, if you're doing this in the shower, the temperature of the water may be warmer than might otherwise be ideal and this can also cause lightheadedness. Perhaps a snack (like a banana) beforehand instead of after.

Just some non-technical thoughts.

I would strongly suggest to use "isotonic" solution all times when you go for more than one enema during a session. This means that 9 gramm salt should be added to to 1 liter of water.

Electrolyte imbalance is something what can render you in to a real life danger.

You overdid it somewhere.

Well, I will tell you from my experience that I often get light headed after an enema. And is why I don't take them all that often, they exhaust me. Also, I can't take them fast and even though I only if I am lucky can take 2 qts, by the time all is said and done, it's like at least an hour and a half process for me, not including recovery time which is about an hour.

Doc says the reason this happens to me is because sometimes I go a week or longer before I go, and by this time I am so bound up that a simple enema becomes a big deal. He also says that if I would take them more often say 2-3 times a week, this probably wouldn't happen.

He says that usually an enema gives him energy, but on the off chance that he "needs" to go and hasn't, then he too feels boggy/sluggish after an enema.

I can't ever find the time nor the privacy to take an enema that often, so usually they wait until I am with him.

I used to get VERY light headed after a few enemas to the point where I would stop and nap for an hour or so. Best thing to do is to use salt in your enemas so your not absorbing so much water and also, (very important) sip Gatorade while doing enemas to maintain your electrolyte balance.

Another possible reason for feeling lightheaded during or just after an enema (I even like typing the word) is that distending the bowel causes several reflexes, at least one of which is thru the vagal nerve to slow the heart rate. You might check your pulse when you feel lightheaded to see if it's slower than around 50 beats per minute. Not dangerous but worth checking.

I believe it is the salt that you need. Add a teaspoon the to water .

For me it feels like i ate too much after a meal, maybe the effect on the stomach has something to do with it

I am with the Salt solution (pardon the pun), you are taking quite a bit of water with three cleanses and that's bound to change the electrolyte level especially if you are petite. Not trying to hold it may help, I never do with the shower nozzle, so a bag would be a good idea if you want to do this.

Completely agree that electrolytes are important, and everyone has offered great advice as to how to maintain.

Light-headedness, and even slight nausea was an unwelcome side-effect at times for me as well, and I found my problem to be a different one.

An RN pen-pal years ago suggested that I was making the water too warm. She was absolutely right. I now test the temp with my wrist... using that method I found I had been making the water much warmer than I would have intended. Your open hand is not sensitive enough to be a reliable guide.
