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 stool patterns. I've noticed that while in the morning it's more solid, in the afternoon and evening it tends to be flat. Could there be any potential reasons for this?
Chest X-Ray Findings _Interpretation_ 1. _Prominent bilateral perihilar vascular markings_: This means that the blood vessels in the lungs, particularly around the hilar region (where the lungs connect to the heart), appear more prominent than usual on the X-ray. 2. _Normal findings otherwise_: The rest of the X-ray findings are normal, which suggests that there are no other significant abnormalities in the lungs or chest. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Increased blood flow_: Prominent vascular markings can indicate increased blood flow to the lungs, which may be due to various factors, such as: - High blood pressure - Heart conditions (e.g., heart failure) - Pulmonary hypertension - Anemia 2. _Other possible causes_: Less common causes include: - Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) - Pulmonary vein obstruction _Level of Concern_ 1. _Mild concern_: While the finding is not immediately alarming, it does warrant further evaluation to determine the underlying cause. 2. _Follow-up recommended_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss the findings and determine the best course of action. _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss the X-ray findings with your doctor to determine the next steps. 2. _Additional tests_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests, such as: - Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) - Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) - Computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest

I'm really worried because I got these reports saying my gallbladder is distended and something about wall thickening and pericholecystic fluid. What does that mean? And I'm having back pain, but I'm not sure if it's related to that. I've got two kidney stones and I'm already on meds for those, but I don't think this pain is due to them. Can you explain why I'm feeling this pain and suggest what I should do or take for it?
The report suggests that your gallbladder is slightly enlarged, but there is no evidence of significant inflammation or fluid collection around it. The pain in your back may be related to your gallbladder, as it can cause discomfort that radiates to the back, though its important to rule out other causes. Since you also have kidney stones, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to clarify whether the pain is from the gallbladder or another issue, and they can guide you on appropriate pain management.
