Have had bad ectopic beats for the last week (more than 10 a minute) have had ECGs and blood test and nothing showed. waiting for 24 hour cardiac monitor. Have noticed I also have very rumbly tummy all the time even when I'm not hungry and feel as if I needto burp a lot. could the two be linked? Am feeling very anxious about the situation too .

    I find when I have stomach problems, my flutters ramp up. I will become bloated and have alot of gas, and this seems to be a trigger for me. Once I can get that huge burp out, my heart settles down.

    I also have SVT, and that can also be triggered my my stomach issues.

    There is tons on line about the connection between your heart and gut.

    Hi Nicola, how are you doing now? I have had constant PVCs for the last two months like you and simultaneously very gassy digestion - lots of gurgling and Burping. I imagine you've had a bunch of tests by now, hopefully showing nothing dangerous? Just wondering, anecdotally I am building a picture of correlation here - I am convinced my troubles are stemming from perimenopause. Any chance that's the case for you?

    Hi Nicola

    It is very difficult to pin down cause and effects as these things can happen out of the blue.

    However one constant seems to be a stomach disorder of some sort. Look up the vagus nerve to see the connection. Many say that burping often helps considerably.

    Did you ever have IBS or any other sort of long term stomach disorder in your past?
