PVCS and bowel movement

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

Thanks

I would think so, I have experienced this also, I also experience PVCs while having a BM occasionally. What amazes me is that maneuvers used to stop PSVT can also triggers PVCs, which in turn can sometimes trigger PSVT.

Lately I have 2 epsiodes of an arrhythmia I never experienced that much before,one just yesterday, it starts with what feels like a PVCs, then my hearts beats with a rollin over feeling like my heart is completely out of sync, but my pulse from what i can tell is fairly regular and not that fast, anyone else experience this feeling, I'm wondering if it could be a fib, but its so fleeting, last for under a minute but can return a few times within 2-5 minutes, after that I'm left with occasional PVCs for awhile but not strong ones. From what I gather PVCs can sometime trigger atrial fibrillation in a concealed AP. see for re: very interesting.

I get the palps before, and the bathroom function relieves the palps shorlty after.  I don't get them during sex though.

I have them occ. too. These are usualy from "baring down" when trying to pass your bowel movements. This stimulates a nerve known as the "Vagus" nerve, which when stimulated, will slow your HR down and lower your B/P. This can have an adverse, yet probably benign, effect on your rhythm, causing your ventricles to "fire off" a beat of it's own.

That has got to be the all time shittiest moment.   :-)  I usually get my pvcs' when I have sex.  I guess taking a **** doesn't excite me as much as sex does. :-)  

So does, anyone notice pvc's during sex?
