Suggest Treatment For Profuse Sweating During Defecation

I have been on omeprazole for approx. 9 years. I was diagnosed with fatty liver and gal stones about 4 months ago. Now having erratic bowl movements. When I do have them I break out into sweats from pushing too much. The stool itself is thick muddy texture and sticking to the toilet bowl. I have noticed an increase in belching and passing gas. My abdomen feels kind of weird, but not really painful. Just need some advice.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

During defecation, excessive stressing may lead to decreased cardiac output due to increased intra thoracic pressure that lead to sweating. In cardiac failure patients stressing lead to profuse sweating. Autonomic neuropathy may lead to sweating as well. Defecation syncope may also present with sweating.

Also you may be suffering from altered bowel movements due to inflammatory bowel disease (IBS) resulting in altered consistency that leads to greasy stools. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Avoid spicy food, alcohol, smoking and caffeinated drinks. Please get stool examination is done; also check your blood sugar and cardiac function status. Avoid constipation by high fiber diet and regular exercises.
If symptoms do not improve please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
