Heart problems or gas

Common Questions and Answers about Heart problems or gas

heart

Avatar m tn Are your having diahrrea? The bloating is probably gas, which is causing the pressure in your chest, or maybe heartburn or both. Activated charcoal capsules from the health food store can help with the pressure/bloated feeling from the gas, as well as with loose stools. Take them 2 hrs before or after meds or vitamins. You feel better after you poop because all that pressure is finally being released.
Avatar f tn It is really difficult to comment whether the symptoms are due to vagus nerve or not. The gas, heart burn can be due to acidity or even due to GERD. It can also be due to IBS or due to Crohn’s or Celiac disease. Keep a stress diary and see if a particular food causes more gas and heart burn. GERD symptoms are often best relieved by a combination of drugs. Talk to your doctor about it. Avoid heavy meals.
Avatar n tn Unfortunately, pain related to the heart is not easily differentiated from chest pain or discomfort from respiratory, esophogeal, or the chest's skeletal configuration. Even if the pain does not return tha would not indicate there is no heart problem. The cause could be the heart muscle from viral infection, medication, etc. or it could be a spasm of the coronary artery that temporarily shut off circulation of oxygenated blood, etc. Worst case scenario. You should get an evaluation.
890064 tn?1244819330 Usual symptoms of heart problems are pain in the center of the chest (meaning blocked arteries), shortness of breath (usually meaning heart valve problems), stomach problems such as belching a lot or gas, a feeling like you have the flu when you do not. Any pain that is in the chest and radiates to the neck or jaw or down the arm can be serious and are signs of a heart attack.

This weird feeling only lasted a split second it did not heart or cause any other symptom it just felt off. So over the next year it happened a few times and recently it’s been happening every few weeks.
Avatar f tn Anyone else have gas problems! Its awful no matter what I eat! Lol its embarrassing!
Avatar n tn I avoided spicy foods and food that causes gas. I took Gas-Ex from time to time when the gas pain was severe. I took Pepto Bismol when I had diarrhea and cramping. I also took over the counter acid reducers for heartburn. My recommendation is to ask for a referral right away to a gynecologist and find out what other tests should be completed to further evaluate and treat the cyst.
Avatar m tn m home and feel the urge to poop, I kneel on my workdesk chair, I rest my elbows on the workdesk and while playing a computer game or surfing the net i fart out and then suck that gas in through the anus by contracting some *** muscles. I start getting hot and after a period of maybe 15 minutes when I start sweating I usually feel that the excrament has reached the anus and then I go poop.
Avatar n tn But over the last year or so I have been having lots of skipped heart beats but only after eating lunch. I also have a lot of gas so I burb a lot right after lunch. I am wondering if anyone can help. thanks. This has stoped me from eating dinner.
Avatar n tn My heart tends to skip beats occasionally...PVC-type episodes. It seems to be very much related to my stomach problems. When I have gas or acidy stomach, my stomach distends a bit and this seems to cause the palpitations. It feels as if the stomach is pressing on the heart and making it beat irregular. Am I crazy? Or is there some type of relationship between stomach distress and heart palpitations?
Avatar n tn t skip every other beat or 1 in 2. My questions is has anyone else experience heart palpitations caused by gas or GERD? Is the nerve that is attached to the esophagus the same that controls the hearts electrical activity? I'm looking for as much information on this subject as I can find. Thanks in advance.
584851 tn?1220272833 Can you tell if you have gas or heart problems? I got a pain for 2 days now that comes and goes under my left nipple area, it a stabing pain that is just there for a few seconds.
Avatar m tn I am suffering with Gas problems for 3-4 years. Excess gas forming and much odor (bad smell) and this make me upset. I consulted with many doctors and they have given me different medications during these period. There is no stomach pain and there is no indigestion problems. There is little bit problems for Piles, and motion is not normal.
Avatar m tn Hi all. I'm in my mid 30s. For about 10 years I've been having digestive problems which cause a high production of gas in my stomach and intestines. I've also been experiencing heart palpitations or flutters that are like extra beats that sometimes occur every other beat. The palps mostly went away years ago but recently came back.
Avatar m tn From what you say it seem possible to me that the digestive/gas problems may be the root cause of your heart symptoms. It may be best to try to get the digestive problems under control first to see if that helps/cures the heart problems. It is good that your are under the care of a doctor.
Avatar m tn Me being a pretty cautious dude, I searched the internet to try and solve my problems. But when I saw that it was a heart attack symptom my heart sank and I had a panic attack and felt like I was going to die. After I calmed myself down and walked home and told my mum about it. She said that i should I should wait a few days until I go to the doctor. During these days I developed very very minor chest pains, that was when I knew I needed to see a doctor.
967168 tn?1477584489 Thanks Lisa, I took a look. I didn't read the complete thread but what I have read has "opened" my eyes that I may need to do something to open my nasal passages and closing my mouth. I may try the breath right strips or nose cones, as well as some of the other practices... maybe even go see an nose and throat specialist.
Avatar m tn One burst of flutters in my heart rate was literally timed with gas bubbles in my abdomen. The one I had last night wasn't. I went to the doc 2 days ago. Had an EKG (10 seconds) and came back fine. She does not believe in a connection between the gut problems and the arrhythmia's. She thinks the arrhythmia's are harmless and can act up more with stress.
Avatar n tn Yesterday, my heart began beating very fast and very hard. This feeling is very uncomfortable and will not subside. Are these signs of a heart attack or heart condition?? And if so, what should I do?
Avatar m tn personally i figure the gas has something to do with the heart not beating properly and the amount of oxygen in body or blood is out of whack..dunno was just always been my opinion..As far as getting it back into rhythm naturally, I tried everything you can imagine and couldnt get it to work.. I will add though that I have a friend who can go put his face in a pan or sink full of ice water when his afib starts and it usually converts him back..never worked for me...
16471784 tn?1448256471 My cardiologist belives that gas can cause issues with the heart - usually not serious issues
Avatar m tn Eating things like chocolate and even bananas can cause gas in the stomach which can irritate the vagus nerve and cause the heart to beat a bit faster or simply for us to feel our heart beating a bit faster. It is good to go and get a check up but it very well isn't anything to be too concerned about. Watch eating gas producing foods on an empty stomach. Address any acid reflux and see if it helps. Take care. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn t associate my gas problems with my heart problems, just with my eating. Vegetables and dairy tend to give me gas. My heart ailment is AFib, not pvc.
1663743 tn?1302916403 This weird feeling only lasted a split second it did not heart or cause any other symptom it just felt off. So over the next few years I have noticed it a lot more. It comes and goes and sometimes happens a few times a day. Other times maybe a few times a month. I am a major hypochondriac and I now are starting to think I have afib or arterial fibulation. I know I had all those test done not that long ago but that "sensation" didn't happen while I was doing any of throes tests.
Avatar n tn Do you eat spicy food or suffer from Acid reflux (GERD) or extreme GAS???
Avatar m tn For the past few days I've had pain right above my hip but its not severe and i don't have any other symptoms but I'm very scared right now because i think i have appendicitis i don't want surgery...my mom who is a nurse said that it cannot be that because the pain i describe isn't severe and that i should lay off the coffee that i drink.
584851 tn?1220272833 does a heart attact act like gas? I have lots of gas most all the time. I get pains in my chest sometimes on my left side. And sometimes right, but the left makes my think im having a heart attack. So, many people the last few days have died of sudden heart attacts.
