Why is it that I almost faint if I try to shit really hsrd?
Why is this in Showerthoughts?
Shower shitter confirmed
There was a shower in the room when the post was created.
This is more of a NoStupidQuestions post than a shower thought.
I agree but I am also genuinely impressed how many serious answers are here. When I read the post I was sure it was just a troll, but troll or not, there are so many people here to give good and based advice. It’s just great. We should keep it!
Not so fun story: when I did my civil service in a hospital I once was called in a room from a patient, because the other patient from that room didn’t come out of the toilet. I found her in the toilet. She had a stroke while pushing really hard. She had asked for a laxative for days, but the physicians didn’t want to giver her one (don’t know ow why).
Tl;dr: Don’t push till you faint!
This is the danger of going 3 days without pooping
It’s called situational syncope. Don’t push so hard. If it keeps happening see your doctor.
Probably because you’re holding your breath in the whole time which cuts off oxygen to your brain, which is what causes fainting
