PVCs worse with IBS

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone has experienced an increase in their PVCs when having IBS or general stomach upsets.

Mine are definitely much worse when I am bloated or have a flare up of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Thank you

Hi there.

Yeah I watched a YouTube video on the subject by Dr Sanjay Gupta. Very interesting. My Cardiologist is not convinced they are related but my symptoms are definitely worse when having an IBS flare up so it does make sense now.

On a good day about 20. On a bad after a glass of wine I can feel them fairly continuously for 12 hrs or so.
