since bob doesn't get to come on the boards too easily - from what i understand, in addition to (a *lot*) of straining, bob was also drinking large quantities of water very quickly (like 48 oz at once), which can spike your blood pressure very high. and when he did have his stroke, he was not only straining, but, i think, sort of jumping around to encourage some action. i think it all conspired to lead to the stroke, but there probably were other factors, too.
so be careful with blood pressure, distribute water throughout the day, and don't strain too much - aside from elevating blood pressure, it's not good for your gi tract, either.
