A member asked:
Sometimes when i have a bowel movement my heart goes into tachycardia. i suffer from occasional psvt but when there is gas, or bm my heart starts race?

Heart monitor: Bearing down (like pushing for a BM) actually slows the heart and can terminate PSVT. You need to wear a 24 hour (or longer) heart monitor to determine what is actually happening with your heart rhythm when you have symptoms.
