PVCS and bowel movement

Has anyone experienced a correlation between PVCS events and a need for a bowel movement?

Thanks

I don't know what PAC or PVC means.If you mean a horrible impulse in the thyroid region while you definitely feel your heart stop-b-B-BOOM ,and then again and again every 2 beats until you eventually go insane or finish digesting fast,then I can tell you that if i eat more than a VERY light meal,and/or lay down(right side/face up) or even sit on my chair slightly bent forward,like when you work with a computer they surely come in.Ten's of them,linked.
This can be because of a hiatal hernia(I'm sorry i'm no english and i have no medical words knowledge-yet)wich is the stomach being a little too high and somehow touching/uncomforting the hearth i guess.
I have a bloated belly almost all the time,I don't know why yet the doc's said i'm ok.
Medicine like Rythmonorm and Egylok does not help at all.
Hangovers are in my opinion the best way to get some of them for weeks,if not months,wich for a 30 year guy is really sad.
If i hear again those are benign i think I'll go crazy for good,I was twice in the situation to wake up in the emergency car ,(of course by then the "palpitations" stopped so they were upset I called them for nothing,nothing wrong appeared on the ekg or even holter when i had it on),very high pulse first time 150/min,very low the second time,30/min.I was sleeping the first time and enjoying a pizza the second time.Blue,cold arms,blue face,partial right side paralised.
I have this heart stopping thing for 3 years now.I've seen 8 doctors.I had bad luck with the 3 holters,only a few of them appeared,and they said something about bigeminism,gave me all sorts of calmants like xanax,and the last one prescripted rythmonorm and metoprolol-for 2 years,but..no efects.I am no anxious type.I don't know what to do anymore.Check if you have this disease ,hiatal hernia,i heard it's an easy surgical intervention.I cannot have an surgical intervention if i don't proove on holter that i have ..well what i have,i don't know what disease i have,I know i don't have any money for doc's anymore.

Hi, this is my first time posting . . . yes, sometimes I get NS V-tac or bigemeny that triggers nausea and a bowel movements within minutes. Also, I'm looking to see if anyone else has long runs of bigemeny that produces pressure in the chest, pain down the arms, chest, throat, abdomen, etc.  I was told years ago that my PVC's were benign . . . well, last year I was helipcoptered out to the hospital twice for V-Tac, kept in the hospital 10 days before it would calm down. I had all the tests and have no problems (?) . . . I don't drink, smoke, eat a very healthy diet, and try to exercise but difficult with PVC's.  The pain and discomfort make it difficult to breathe sometimes. . . I guess I don't understand how this could be benign!!  Appreciate any comments.

Yeah,ain't that the s----!

I've also experienced P.A.C.S right before taking a Cr--.It makes you wanna run to the bathroom..

Sex in the missionary position is a real no-no.To avoid P.A.C.S,IT must be done in any position BUT the missionary.Any kind of pressure on the stomach will trigger these things so try and STAY ON TOP if you are a P.A.C/P.V.C.sufferer.Sorry,don't want to be too graghic just providing some helpful info.here.I hope.

While on the same topic,This subject matter is something that no one will ever talk about!
  
   sometimes getting turned on will also trigger a B.M..( in women )I guess it serves some purpose.I bet I'm not the only one to experience this phenonema,but no one will ever admit to it.Gross but true.:(Gosh...Why do our bodies do such strange things?Is there a reason for this besides the obvious?

I have said for years that my PVC's were associated with gastrointenstinal function. When I eat, within five minutes the PVC's will start. I love spicy foods (jalapeno's and hot giardinara are the best); but eating spicy foods causes PVC's to come-on with a vengeance! ;like every two or three beats. The PVC's will last until stomach empties then it's as if I have the most perfect heart in the world. . . no problems. Then yes, you guessed it, PVC's start again prior to having a bowel movement. I can predict (if this is a necessary gift I don't need it) when I will have to have a BM within minutes. PVC's start, then wham, few minutes later my body says get to the bathroom. I shared this with my cardiologist (I have a cardiologist because of MVP) and all he said was "interesting".

To any doctors reading this, I wouldn't wish these abnormal episodes on anybody, but I wish you all could experience this and then tell me it's in my head!

I have coorelated my PACs and PVCs with bowel movements for years.  They tend to go away or get less frequent after I go.  Just this morning, I was walking in to work and felt that first sensation of having a BM, and it triggered strings of regular then irregular rapid beats for awhile.  Wouldn't go away, so I went to the ER and the doctor said I probably had an SVT event. Scary, but if I would have just gone straight to the bathroom I might not have wound up in the hospital!
