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 dealing with constant diarrhea for the last couple of days, and even though I'm taking loperamide and using O.R.S., it hasn't stopped. Should I be worried? Is there anything else I can do to help stop it?
Persistent diarrhea despite taking loperamide and ORS warrants further attention; consider consulting a gastroenterologist or a primary care physician to rule out underlying causes like bacterial or viral infections, food poisoning, or inflammatory bowel disease; they may prescribe additional medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents, and recommend stool tests, blood work, or other diagnostic procedures to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

I've been dealing with this H. Pylori infection and gastritis, and I'm currently on treatment for it. Today, I've started experiencing some light chest pain and a lot of yawning. I'm really worried these might be signs of something serious like a heart attack. Could this be related to my current condition or something else?
no they are not symptoms of heart attack

Sure, I came across my medical report and it mentions terms like "marginally enlarged", "diffusely increased echogenicity", and "small hypoechoic sol with irregular wall" in my liver. There's also something about "tiny cystic changes" and a similar "smaller sol" at the left lobe. I'm really anxious about what all of this means. Are these findings something to be concerned about, and what kind of follow-up or action should I take?
The ultrasound report suggests that you have two liver lesions: a 46mm x 25mm x 29mm hypoechoic solid mass with irregular walls and tiny cystic changes in the right lobe, and a smaller 21mm x 15mm x 19mm solid mass in the left lobe; these findings may indicate benign liver lesions, such as hemangiomas or focal nodular hyperplasia, but further evaluation, such as a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan, and consultation with a hepatologist or radiologist are necessary to determine the nature and significance of these lesions.
