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.

I've been taking the hp kit for a week now, but I accidentally took the evening dose this morning. Once I realized it, I took the correct dose in the evening too. Is there anything I should do or watch out for? Could this mix-up cause any serious issues?
