: Is there any information or incidences of skipped heart beats being caused by severe
: gastrointestinal distress? For example - severe gas causing pressure on the heart and causing
: irregular beats? Thank you.
Dear Gaye,
Finally! I see someone else seems to have the symptoms I have. My skipped beats seem to only occur when this type of gastrointestinal distress occurs, and mostly at night. I'm desparate to find a solution and get on with my life.

Dear Jim, thank you for your input to the heart forum.
Dear Jim: Thanks so much for the reply! My father is experiencing these symptoms. They find nothing
wrong with his heart, but he has skipped heart beats during the gastrointestinal attacks, and the skipped
beats continue for 24 hours or so, then disappear until the next attack. Does any of this sound familiar
to you? It is a very disconcerting feeling (I had the same problem with gall bladder attacks 2 years ago).
Hope you find a solution - if you do, let me know!
Gaye
