A member asked:
Help i'm worried. i took a dump at 10pm which made me feel fainty. is it life threatening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is common for many, if not most, folks from time to time. Depending on all the variables of how your body's working, straining at stool can push the blood out of your chest, diminishing return to the heart. The brief increase in blood pressure may also stretch the carotid sinus and slow your heart a bit. Your system will survive far greater stresses.
