Toilet Fainting Risk: A person lives in his home and thinks that he is living a comfortable life away from all the problems and difficulties. However, it is not so. Danger to humans is everywhere. Cardiologist Dr Dmitry Yaranov has described the bathroom as a potentially dangerous place, as there can be a risk of fainting or even death while using the toilet. While talking about this on Instagram on September 8, Dr. Yaranov said that there is a silent danger hidden in your bathroom. They called it the most dangerous room in your house. Let us tell you why they called it so and how dangerous it really is.
What are the dangers associated with the bathroom?
“You think[the most dangerous room in the house]is the kitchen, where the knives are, or the garage, where the tools are kept. But for some people, it’s the bathroom,” the cardiologist said. He further said, “Have you ever felt dizzy or lightheaded in the bathroom? You are not alone.” According to Yaranov, pushing during constipation can trigger the ‘Valsalva maneuver’, in which a person pushes while holding his breath. This process increases pressure in the chest, reduces blood flow to the heart, lowers blood pressure and ultimately deprives the brain of oxygen.
Higher risk for already sick people
Dr. Yaranov said, “Every year, thousands of people become unconscious or die while sitting on the toilet. This is the reason for this. Pushing during constipation triggers the Valsalva maneuver. You stop breathing and push. Due to this, chest pressure suddenly increases, blood flow to the heart slows down, blood pressure falls and oxygen is not able to reach the brain.” He said that it is more dangerous for people who have heart disease, arrhythmia, or who are taking high dose medicines for heart failure.
Are there any prevention methods?
Talking about prevention, he said, “Fix the cause: Get fiber, drink water, be active daily, and use stool softeners if needed. Don’t ignore chronic constipation. It’s not just uncomfortable, it can be dangerous.” These are the only preventive measures. Which you cannot ignore even by mistake.
