Hi,

It is good that you found solution to your constipation.

With regards to increased heart beats, it could be related to alcohol use. So, I suggest to stop drinking alcohol for a while and measure blood pressure and heart rate, record the results and pass them to our doctor for further evaluation.

I also advise to do ECG, Holter monitoring and cardiac echo.

All the best!
