Weight loss, loose stools and possible aFib, what's up?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Over the last few years, my husband has had several "bouts" of what he thinks might be afib. He says his heart bests irradically for extended amounts of time (an hour or so).

In last six months hes dropped 50 lbs and claims to not be trying. He is currently at the lowest weight hes ever been. i notice him not always eating, but he doesnt complain of pain, he just doesnt always have an appetite. this seems to come and go.

Almost every day he goes to the bathroom between 3-6 times. i dont see his poop, but from what i can see left in the toilet, it looks like coffee grounds or diarrhea. He also has a habit of getting up during the night with an urgent need to poop.

One night, he was up all night and said he was in the worst pain he has ever felt in his life (next to a ruptured appendix). He said he was on the toiler, broke out in a sweat and thought he was going to pass out and by morning his stool was gray in color.

He also vomited a little blood a while

back (once that i know of)

IS there anyone who can relate to any of this or have an idea of whats going on?
