Panic and shortness of breath may be caused by relative insufficiency of cardiac output or (and) hypokalemia. Patients should change their position, take a short rest in sitting or supine position, and replenish blood volume and potassium by supplementing with saline and eating bananas.
1. Constipation patients who do not defecate for a long time can cause increased pressure in the gastrointestinal tract, which in turn presses and squeezes the intestinal wall, leading to increased pressure in the blood vessels within the intestinal wall, increased peripheral resistance of the cardiovascular system, and a decrease in cardiac output through negative feedback.
After taking the drug, one time too much defecation, gastrointestinal pressure suddenly drop, cardiovascular system peripheral resistance suddenly reduced and cardiac output failed to increase in time, resulting in a transient hypotension. The patient should change the position and take a rest in sitting or supine position to increase the return blood volume and cardiac output.
2. Excessive defecation at one time can also appear low blood potassium, low blood potassium causes cardiac physiological dysfunction, easy to cause palpitation, tachycardia, panic and shortness of breath, etc. Supplementation of saline and eating bananas to replenish the blood volume and potassium, and oral or intravenous supplementation of potassium if necessary.
Patients should consult the doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
