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 worried about my mom's recent health checkup. The ultrasound showed that her gallbladder has quite a few polyps, with one measuring about 15mm. We took the reports to some gastroenterologists, and they think surgery to remove the gallbladder is the way to go. But I'm wondering if there are any alternative treatments or maybe something like homeopathy that might help instead of jumping straight to surgery?
Gall bladder polyp is incidental findings. Any polyp less than 1.5 cms should be observed and follow up to be done. Polyp more than 1.5 cms carries chances of malignancy and needs removal of gall bladder.

I've been dealing with this chest pain for quite a while now and it's really starting to worry me. It feels like something in the middle of my chest is hurting a lot. Plus, I sometimes vomit, which burns my chest and inner neck really bad. Mornings are especially tough because I often feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm just trying to figure out why I'm experiencing this and what I can do to make it better. Any insights would be greatly appreciated because this is becoming really stressful.
