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'm a bit concerned about my recent liver test results. It says my liver is slightly enlarged at 14.8 cm, and there's a grade 3 diffuse fatty change. It mentions mild hepatomegaly with fatty liver, but the tests for Hepatitis A and C came back negative. My liver enzyme levels are SGOT 46.5, SGPT 91.5, and Gamma GT 97.1. I'm not a drinker, so that's not a factor. Could you help me understand what all this means for my health and what steps I should take next?

I'm supposed to get an operation as my doctor recommended, but I'm really not comfortable with endoscopy surgery. On top of that, I'm working and it's tough to get time off. Is there any alternative option that might work for me?

I've just had some blood tests done, and it turns out my bilirubin levels are pretty high. I'm a bit concerned about how serious this might be. Can you please guide me on who I should talk to about this, and what kind of precautions I might need to take? Would appreciate any advice!
A high bilirubin level can indicate liver issues or other underlying conditions. It's important to consult a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, for further evaluation. In the meantime, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and follow any advice your doctor provides.
