Gas causing pvc's
Common Questions and Answers about Gas causing pvc's
gas
Hello, I am a 38 year old female, hypothyroid from hashimotos and benign PVC's.... no other conditions that i know of, i am normal weight and height normal blood pressure, i don't excercise as much as i should but have a 1 year old that keeps me busy... Non-smoker and social drinker.
I have had a few EKG's over the past 10 years and all were normal, an ER diagnosed me with benign PVC's after an EKG about 10 years ago.
PVC's started 2 years ago for me. I can tell I have gas backed up under my rib cage (both sides) pushing out. I have had so much in there it felt like I had a basketball in there . When that happens PVC's all over the place, and I'm thinking it is causing an overcrowding of the heart and sends it into a funky rhythm. And they don't stop until I take Gas-X or something similar and decompress my upper abdomen.
Im 34 and in great shape, lift 4-5 days per week, low blood pressure 120/80 / 110/70 with a total cholesterol of 175. I've been on nexium for 2 years from messing up my stomach from vicodin and coffee. The last year I've been experiencing constant belching and bloating in my stomach after certain foods but staring to belch a lot after all meals. I'm now experiencing my heart skipping beats during my belching bouts, and when I go out and drink alcohol.
I have been diagnosed with benign PVC's and they are HORRIBLE when i have a bowel movement or have trapped gas.
Does anyone know the connection? I know for a fact it is connected in some way.. I suffer from chronic constipation and i get gassy frequently and when i "bare down" to have a bowel movement my PVC's go CRAZY.. I don't understand what is causing it?
Hello everyone,
I've been experiencing muscle twitching all over my body for the past 2-3 years. They feel like bubbles or things crawling under my skin and they happen more frequently when I have lots of gas. Sometimes the twitching stays in one place and doesn't stop for hours. At first I though it was a side effect I was getting from Zantac, but I've been off Zantac for months and I still get muscle spasms! What kind of doctor should I see for this problem?
I am 37 and I have been tortured by PVC's for about a year and a half. At first I would get them mostly at night when I would lay down...I attributed it to eating too late, but then I stopped eating after 6:30 pm and they would still occur. They were getting worse and worse, so I went to a GI specialist first, thinking that I had GERD or a hiatal hernia or something, but my Gastroenterologist did a colonoscopy and an EGD (scope of the upper GI tract) and he found nothing wrong.
When I wore a holter monitor I felt the same way, when I went over the times I hit the button to record there was no pvc so it must have been gas. Gas can put pressure on the vagus nerve and cause a pvc. If your pvc's are harmless then no need to worry.
I have not ever taken Lexapro, so I don't really know, I would think that being on it only 7 days however would not give you this reaction. Ask the pharmacist, he should be able to help.
I have "stomach flips" I actually discovered, for me, they are gas bubbles causing my heart to do the "flip flops" they are called PAC's or PVC's and are usually benign, but they are very annoying. Lots of folks that are nervous have them.
Hi all. This is my first post here as I have just found this forum, what a great resourse. I pose this question. Why is Vitamin B causing PVC's? I am a healthy 29 y/o Male and about 2 years ago I started getting palpitations. I am a paramedic and so I hooked myself up at work and found that I was getting PVC's (2-3 hundred a day). I never drinv coffee or alchool and I don't smoke.
I had PVC's with belching. It lasted for a week before I went to doctor. He withdrew blood and discovered I was HypoThyroid. I went on SynThyroid and after 4 days of taking the medication my PVC's and belching stopped.
i can actually make myself have a PVC after i eat and during a bowel movement if i push hard enough that's crazy.. I wonder if the PVC is just a side effect of a GI issue?
When i was pregnant after i ate i would get light headed and almost pass out and would have to lay down after i ate and the PVC's would begin and then i would feel a lot of gas and pressure and use the bathroom and everything would go away..
Never get them any other time except maybe once or twice doing cardio, I think due to inhaling and stomach gas; always seems to be in concert with gas. Working out hard with no other issues. A large meal late in the evening can start to cause palpitations when I lay down to sleep (I now understand that is a definite no no, and how hard it can be to try to sleep on my left side.)
Other than that I feel fantastic.
Here is what im finding. It is not the Gerd or Hiatel hernia thats causing the problem but the acid reflux and the hiatel hernia and PVC's are a symptom of the overstimulated vagus nerve so, This means that whatever is slowing your metabolism is the culprit ie Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, gastroperesis, and a whole hole of others.
I usually post on the heart rhythm forum for my PVC's. Just curious what are the symptoms of a Hiatal Hernia. My heart has been checked out fine and they say my PVC's are benign. I know there is a link between the vagus nerve and PVC's. I'm curious if this is what is causing mine. I get a weird lump like feeling in my throat and I have to belch a lot. I also am always taking tums or rolaids. Just curious to know if anyone else gets PVC's from stomach issues.
Thanks!
I have been been having heart issues for the last year and a half. I'm 24 years old, in good shape, played college athletics. For more than a year I have been having PVC's. After noticing when they occur I have come to the conclusion that it has a ton to do with gas. The PVC's almost never happen in the morning. The will happen after I eat. Typically after I eat a lot and am really full.
All your activities are probably harmless short term, but over time can cause health issues and even trigger PVC's. It's unusual, but PVC's can be triggered by vitamins, caffeine, alcohol, and even some food.
It might be prudent to stop the vitamins, alcohol, and caffeine. Lay off for at least 4 weeks. If your PVC's stop or are reduced, great. If not, still great because you are still healthier.
A recent study on fish oil looks promising.
Been happening to me for most of my 58 years. Sounds like you had an echo. If so and there were no findings you're fine. These are normal kinds of events, most likely PVC's which feel like fluttering but in reality are an early beat causing a pause then a hard restart. They can be three or four beats in a row and feel like fluttering. That's what mine are.
I have been having real bad gas/indigestion/heartburn for about a month and lately it has been affecting the rhythm of my heart beat. I have always had a heart that skipped beats but now it is getting worse. Would having gas cause your heart to beat different.
I've had PVC's and PAC's on and off for over 30 years. I'm 52. They stink, as you all know. Is it possible that there is a connection between gas in the stomach, and the skipped beats? At times I feel gas moving around in my upper stomach, and the instant it does, the heart skips. My doc didn't seem to think much of the possibility. Has anyone else ever had this? I wish I could find out what causes these things.
