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 really concerned about something I've been experiencing for the past six months. Every morning during bowel movements, I feel like something is getting stuck at the end of my anal area. Today, I took a picture of my anal region and noticed a swelling in one corner that seems like it might be a sentinel pile fissure. What could this possibly be, and what should I do next?
For rib pain, consider consulting: 1. General Physician (GP) for initial evaluation. 2. Orthopedic Specialist for musculoskeletal issues. 3. Gastroenterologist for possible gastrointestinal causes. 4. Pulmonologist for lung-related issues. If the pain is severe, sudden, or accompanied by breathing difficulties, seek emergency care.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with burping problems for the last six months, and now I've started to experience yawning and shortness of breath. It's pretty concerning, and on top of that, I get heartburn too. What could be causing all these symptoms?
You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend trying over-the-counter medication such as Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to help reduce stomach acid production and alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) as needed for the burping. If your symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
