What Causes Numbness In The Hands After A Bowel Movement?
I woke up with severe stomach pain. I went to the bathroom for a bowel movement and nothing came but both hands went numb then my feet and I was sweating a lot. Finally about ten mins or so I was able to expel the waste. It was solid then turned into liquid. Why were both of my hands going numb?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
May be during defecation, there's is raise of intrathoracic pressure due to long stressing lead to decreased venous return or decreased cardiac output lead to hypoxia to limbs cause numbness and sweating.
Few people may develop syncope or cervicitis rib may compression lead to numbness or diabetic neuropathy etc.
Still have queries please feel free to ask.
Take care.
