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'm feeling kind of stuck because my gastroenterologist said I need a colonoscopy for my stomach pain, but I'm trying this new eating schedule where I eat every 33 hours, and fasting is really hard for me. How do I navigate this? Any advice would be really helpful.
Chest Pain Characteristics_ 1. _Intermittent pain_: Pinpoint pain lasting 3-4 seconds, occurring sporadically throughout the day. 2. _Variable location_: Pain located in the center, left, and right sides of the chest. 3. _Burning sensation_: Accompanying burning sensation, which may indicate acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). _Possible Causes_ 1. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus can cause chest pain and burning sensations. 2. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Strained chest muscles or costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone) can cause intermittent chest pain. 3. _Cardiovascular conditions_: Although less likely, given the brief duration and variable location of the pain, cardiovascular conditions like angina or pericarditis should be ruled out. 4. _Anxiety or stress_: Stress and anxiety can manifest as physical symptoms, including chest pain and burning sensations. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult a healthcare professional_: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause. 2. _Diagnostic tests_: Your doctor may order diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray, or endoscopy, to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Lifestyle modifications_: Avoid trigger foods, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. 4. _Monitor symptoms_: Keep a symptom journal to track the frequency, duration, and characteristics of your chest pain and burning sensations.
