on its face this sounds like kind of a funny question. but you know what: feeling sleepy and/or weak after having a bowel movement is no laughing matter. the symptoms you describe warrant a physical examination and probably some blood work to rule out any serious issues such as a heart problem. i suggest you keep a log (yes really! ) to record the date and time of each bowel movement the color and consistency of the stool and how hard you had to strain (if at all) to have the bowel movement. this information will help your healthcare provider pinpoint the cause of your extreme fatigue after going to the bathroom. i would suggest you not take this situation lightly. i suggest you call your primary health care provider to make an appointment and begin getting answers to your question. wishing you well! this problem is not defined in western medicine but in chinese medicine it indicates a deficiency e. g. qi or kidney deficiency. a practitioner would have to take details and then examine tongue and pulses to properly diagnose and treat with acupuncture tui na (massage) and/or herbs.
