A member asked:
Can severe constipation lead to heart palpitations? i experience heavy palpitations when i eat food, or go to toilet less often. worsens my appetite.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Severe constipation is uncomfortable and any discomfort can cause our body to release more adrenaline, which makes the heart beat harder and faster. That's a normal reaction. Would focus on getting enough help for the constipation including regular exercise, plenty of fruit/vegetables/whole grains, and medical treatment. Also tea is constipating in case u didnt know.
