Doctors told why his memory was lost?

Doctors and experts said that when a person puts too much pressure on the body due to constipation, it increases the pressure inside the abdomen and chest. This pressure temporarily blocks the blood flow to the brain. In medical parlance this is called ‘transient global amnesia’. In this the person forgets his recent memories for a few hours. Doctors say that this condition is usually not life-threatening and gets better on its own within a few hours, but in case of such a problem, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
