Does having a prolonged or forced movement cause Dementia?

Does pooping make you dee dee dee!

I was having a conversation with my doctor a while back regarding the fact that I gave myself a headache while experiencing a movement. I postulated that it would be possible to rupture blood vessels in your brain if you increased pressure in your cranium in order to expedite the activity or if you were constipated.

I poked and prodded answers from him until he agreed with my theory. I am sure if he were asked he would say that he never said that or answer in some politically correct way that avoided the answer. The question still stands and I would love to have someone dispute the premise that your face turning red from self induced internal pressure and veins popped out in your temples would have no effect on the very small capillaries that carry blood to the brain. If these capillaries burst would the lack of oxygen rich blood leading the cells of the brain cause barely undetectable damage to the brain and over time manifest itself in what we call dementia.
That is my hypothesis and is left, to those funded by our tax money to study, prove and take credit. Dementia is classified as a gradual loss of mental abilities.  It affects memory, personality, behavior, and thinking abilities. Dementia is not classified as a disease - it is classified as a condition.  Dementia may be caused by certain medical and mental-health problems. Basically they have no idea what causes it! They went to college for 8 years to be human mechanics and throw a lot of medical terms at you that obfuscate that truth. They think it might be caused by Alzheimer’s Disease (no cause yet), Stroke, Rare viruses and certain inherited diseases (unknown), Parkinson’s Disease and some AIDS patients have exhibited dementia like symptoms. They have also classified reversible triggers that may cause dementia such as: alcoholism, mental problems, poor nutrition, reactions to medication and other problems such as head injures, high fever, certain infections, syphilis, and brain tumors.

My hypothesis is tied to the consensus that head injuries and high fevers, infections and other things that can cause brain damage can be classified as dementia. Then it would go without saying that forcing a bowel movement and the accompanying pressure on the brain could damage the very small capillaries, which range in size between 5-10 microns.

I suggest that you exercise, eat right including a lot of fiber and take your time when taking a dump! If you are terminally constipated see your doctor!

Remember I am not a doctor and I am not dispensing medical advice. I am advising you of my opinion and subsequent actions I have taken. Talk to your doctor he will tell you that I am crazy!@
