PVCs and stomach gas!!!!

[sb786]

Just a quick question... My younger sister who is 20 yrs old and has never suffered from pvcs/palpitions etc had an endoscopy done 3 days ago for suspected acid reflux. During the procedure they blew air into her stomach to inflate it!! Since then she obviously has alot of stomach gas but she has been having non stop pvcs too!! Yesterday for about 6 hours every third beat was an ectopic!! They have calmed down alot today and she is not really bothered by them but is there a connection between gas and palps? I know i tend to burb after a pvc and after eating i definitely get more.

Thank you for sharing this important info, even if your story is rather scary. Are we gas sufferers all going to end up with VT I wonder...

If the right ventricle runs up against the oesophagus - which no doctor has mentioned to me- then that would explain the connection between right ventricular extracystoles and gas. Your story reflects also what I feel, which is that the PVCs cause the gas and not the other way round.

If you don't  mind my asking, why did you opt for surgery rather than medication for the VT? Did medication not help?
I was given a beta blocker today for the first time and not only did it not feel like it did much, the side effects also incapacitated me at least as much as my symptoms.

Insane that Drs seem to all ignore the connection despite the evidence! I found this thread because I too have PVCs and gas that are clearly connected. Except that I feel like the gas is caused by the PVCs rather than the other way round. Anybody else have this in this order?

It's possible because pvc will trigger anxiety and will make more gases

I see this very common among many peoples that eat mostly foods that contain gas producing chemicals in them. My heart literally stopped and regained again many times due the VEGAS nerve. I too felt my heart was wearing out but NO DOCTOR would ever treat the cause but i know now that they do know how to treat the cause but will most likely not reveal the secrets to this knowledge due to not having any work related issues from this condition. They simply will be out of work if they do correct this condition for you asap. Forget it and live until you die, for it is better to stay away from them if you can as all they do is take money and know it. Stay calm, eat lite, stay away from gas causing foods and foods that contain artificial ingredients and stay away from synthetic antibiotics as they FDA has banned many of these and should ban the rest. Drink natural water, no clorinated water and just use natural flavorings. Mainly is to eat lite and use simple exorcises to expel gases which act like bombs inside the stomach and intestines. One known cause is the tightening of the orifice of the small and large intestines or a growth which will hinder passage of intestinal waste which in turn causes gas and backup causing acid reflux. Doctors will not heal you but will do surgery on you. Acid reflux will cause bacteria growth in the lung passages and eventually into the heart and heart sac causing fluid buildup. You can rid this with asthma medicine, antibiotics and exorcise with coughing out the fluid for relief. Chemicals can cause many problems to the health.

I too have suspected a link between gas and palps and pvs's for quite some time. My theory ( I am no doctor ) is that I have acid damage in my esophagus, ( from acid reflux ) which has made a tiny hole in my esophagus which gas is seeping through into my chest cavity, which in turn is causing pressure on my chest, causing the pvc's/palps.

An important note to add to this post so that I don't scare the crap out of anyone  --  The fact that I began having short runs of v-tach as a result of the misfiring spots in my heart was apparently a very rare problem.  My doctor said that normally this issue only leads to PVC's or PAC's.  I merely wanted to share the story and share the info on the EP study and ablation just in case someone else finds them self in the same scenario.
