    Hi unlucky63610

    You have answered your own question. Your problems are due to being overweight. You need to go on a healthy eating diet and do exercise..change your diet, exercise and lose weight....if you are overweight you are putting a strain on your heart..and if your diet is unhealthy this will cause the digestive problems you are experiencing..if you want to be happy like everyone else you know what you have to do.....exercise mildly at first and gradually build it up....best wishes...

      Hi unlucky63610

      It sounds as if you are experiencing an Ectopic Heart Beat or otherwise known as Arterial Contraction......which is not a serious condition..it can be brought on by medication or low potassium....but no excuse not to lose weight...you can search. 'Ectopic Heartbeat' for more information to see if there is a correlation with what you experience....best wishes...

      Hi lucky63610

      I hope you don't mind me calling you 'lucky' it's more positive!.....i had a 24 hr heart monitor some time ago and ecg and an echocardiogram..because i get missed heart beats....the report was sent back to my doc which said the missed heartbeats were picked up and were known as ectopic heartbeats which my doc told me were very common and nothing to be concerned about. I still get them but i am not concerned due to the result...I thought perhaps that may be the case with you....did you ever see your ecg and echocardiogram result.....i ask this because the cardiac consultant just said all was fine..but it was my doc who explained to me the full report.....best wishes with your weight loss....

    Gallbladder surgery can cause complications such as IBS and bile acid malabsorption. Ask for a SECHAT scan to check this.  Do you have any stomach pain that moves about or bowel habit change?  Perhaps ask your doctor for a gallbladder diet to see if that helps.  Try losing weight too since you say you are overweight.  

    Stress and anxiety can cause breathlessness, heart palpitations and IBS.  Sometimes  people with IBS can get breathless.  From what you are saying, you seem to have a problem with your anxiety levels. Try distraction techniques such as more exercise, getting plenty of sleep and taking up a hobby.  If this doesn't work, see your doctor about CBT or another course of snxiety medication.

    Colefac is an IBS medication. Is that helping? If it is, that may suggest IBS.  If you had food poisoning, that can also trigger IBS.    Do you find any food triggers symptoms? Perhaps try a food diary.  Food problems can be linked with IBS too. I wouldn't bother going to a cardiologist if all your heart tests had shown up normal. Your tests showed almost 99%!  That is very good, so it shows that is not the problem.

      Fatty and spicy foods don't always agree with me.  I get hearburn if I eat overly spicy foods and I get nausea or vomiting if the food is too fatty or oily because my stomach doesn't always digest the fat. This used to be a lot worse years ago but it has since improved.

      Ask your doctor for a different antacid medication or ask if the dose can be increased
