Suggest Treatment For Strain In Bowel Movement

For the past year and a half almost evertime I have to strain during a bowel movement (which only happens maybe every two months) I will get skipped heartbeats for about 30 seconds to a minute. I was in the hospital six months ago with skipped heartbeats and they ruled it was stress. Is this something I should worry about?

Hi

Thanks for your query.

Noted the history and understood the concerns. Skipped heartbeats is felt by you but your Doctors in hospital have said this to be due to the stress hence you need the following in such a situation:
Get full cardiac checkup along with a long lead II EKG, echo and all;
Straining during bowel movement needs to be evaluated by X-ray of abdomen in standing position, ultrasonography of abdomen, ano=proctoscopy and colonoscopy to see for the causes and get treated according to the cause found.
You may need stool softener and laxative for clear bowel regularly.

Take Care

Regards
