What Causes Rapid Heart Rate During Bowel Movement?
I have never had regular bowel movements and go days sometimes. Why once it starts cramping and I am going finally does my heart rate beat really fast( like 150bpm guessing). After I am done its back to normal again. I drive a school bus and like this morning it happened and I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest and got light headed almost. Thankfully because I have young adults if I need to stop somewhere I can. Is it the pain of the cramping? It makes me nauseated also. And possibly the stress that goes with it?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you should not worry about the bowel movement even if it is not happening daily have some more water, fiber containing diet, no need to be over conscious for this else your heart beat would increase dramatically and it may makes you more conscious and worry hope this information helps.
