There's no straining as I drink plenty of water but the simple muscular contraction (peristalsis) causes an increase in blood pressure (similar to during exercise) which aggravates my symptoms.
I don't think there is much I can do about it. Hopefully over time (hate that word) daily activites like going to the bathroom will no longer worsen matters..
