What Causes Chronic Diarrhea Along With Chest Discomfort?
68 year old male. Have had watery diarrhea for 6 days, but less volume today, so may be ending. However, have experienced odd feeling in chest for several days, worse today (anxious or pressure). Checked pulse, and am getting variable skipped beat every 4th to 8 beats, sometimes further apart. Concerned about this and odd feeling in chest. Am in good health, run 12 to 16 miles a week, exercise regularly.

I have gone through your question and here is my advice. You may be suffering from heart disease known as arrhythmia and the diarrhea and chest discomfort is might be due to acidity. I advice you to do an ECG. You can take capsule Pan once a day in morning to avoid acidity. You Can follow up with the reports or you may visit a general physician but ECG is must.
