Difficulty in breathing and shortness of breath after bowel movement may be caused by constipation, heart disease, respiratory disease, etc. Intervention can be made by improving living habits and medication. 1. Improve living habits: Difficulty in breathing and gasping for breath after defecation is mostly caused by increased abdominal pressure during defecation in patients with constipation. It is recommended that patients should pay attention to adjusting their diets, eat more bananas, celery, and other fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich in dietary fiber, avoid eating cold, spicy, and greasy foods, and develop regular defecation habits. At the same time, strengthen the appropriate exercise, quit smoking and drinking, ensure enough rest, avoid staying up late. 2. Drug therapy: according to different causes, choose the appropriate drugs. (1) Constipation: If the patient is constipated, the patient can use lactulose, polyethylene glycol, Keserol and other drugs to relieve. (2) Heart disease: if caused by coronary heart disease, drugs such as nitroglycerin, aspirin, clopidogrel can be taken; if caused by cardiac insufficiency, diuretics such as furosemide, spironolactone or metoprolol can be taken. (3) Respiratory diseases: if caused by respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema, bronchial asthma, etc., drugs such as salbutamol, terbutaline, ipratropium bromide, glucocorticoids, etc. can be taken for treatment. If the patient has the above conditions for a long time or repeatedly, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, identify the cause of the disease under the guidance of a professional physician, and carry out targeted treatment. The medication should be taken in strict accordance with the doctor’s instructions, and should not be used on its own, so as not to delay the condition.
