Hi,

If you are having bowel movement without blood than IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) can be a cause of your symptoms. IBS is generally not known why it happens and is mostly thought to be due to stress. Stress can cause the changes and symptoms with IBS and also sweaty palms and the heart to race. Having tests to rule out heart problems is reassuring and it also confirms that IBS is a very likely cause of your symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
