JamesBond 007, after spending on american diet for a week, gets constipated. he was diagnosed to have aortic stenosis. he loves his mercedes and he has two dogs. he lives in birmingham and reported to you in newyork. while on shitpot as he tries hard to empty his bowels, what happens to his murmur?(the classical way of presenting a question on usmle!)
a.decreases
b.increases
c.stays the same
d.initially decreases and later increases
e.initialllly increases and later decreases
