A member asked:
Why do i get a heavy bounding pulse in my neck only when i urinate? it lasts about 30 seconds and goes back to normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vagus nerve: When someone strains to urinate it stimulate the vagus nerve and this causes a temporary bradycardia that may make for uncomfortable sensations as your cardiovascular system attempts to adapt to the changes. Some people actually pass out, particularly elderly men. Stay safe!
