Suffocation in bathrooms: is it normal?

Whenever I walk into a restroom or bathroom after someone has pooped or is pooping, I can't breathe. It's like I'm choking, suffocating, silently gagging, gasping for air. However, the air is obviously present because if its the smell of my own poop, I can breathe just fine.

Why is this??? Also, is there a technical name for the fumes from 'poop?'

    Toxic fumes.

    I hate my own but I can deal with them better than I can with others. If someone has used the loo before me, regardless if it urine or shit, that room needs to be aired out or I'll be sick!

    Fecal fumes, lol.

    I'm the same way though. Can't breathe when I walk into a washroom after someone just pooped.
