Why do I feel weak after pooping?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Weakness after defecation is due to vaso vagal reaction. When you tense abdominal muscles or strain to pass stool, vagus nerve is stimulated which decreases the heart rate. Also, blood flow to the heart decreases causing the blood pressure to drop. Hence, decreased heart rate with drop in blood pressure together makes you light headed or weak after passing stool.

View allI've been struggling with IBS for quite a while now, actually, it's been ongoing since I turned 34 and I'm from Bangladesh. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution to this. Is there any treatment available that could finally put an end to my IBS issues?
A lymphocyte percentage of 46.6% is slightly elevated. The normal range is typically between 20-40%. Mild elevations can be caused by viral infections, stress, or fatigue. However, it's essential to consider your absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and other blood test results. Consult your doctor to discuss the results and determine if further testing is needed. In most cases, a mildly elevated lymphocyte percentage is not a cause for concern.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for about a month and a half now. I've been trying homeopathic medicine for the past two weeks, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Should I stick with what I'm taking or consider other treatment options? I'm starting to get worried about the lack of progress.

I'm kind of worried about my throat. A couple of months ago, it was burning a lot, so I had an endoscopy done, and the doctor said it was a sliding hiatus hernia. Even after that, my throat kept burning, so I saw an ENT specialist who mentioned it might be a vocal cord problem. The burning has stopped now, but I've noticed the back of my throat looks red, and I occasionally feel irritated or have to sneeze. What do you think might be going on? Is there something specific I should be checking or doing to make sure everything's okay?
