What Causes Fluttering Sensation In The Chest While Suffering From Constipation?
when I am constipated and have gas, both ways due to bloating, I feel flutters. Heart? not heart? I am always told I have perfect ekgs s. Flutters are not in one spot, do not catch my breath or anything like that. I have had this many times, always when constipated.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As your echocardiography is normal you need not worry about cardiac problem. You are having bowel movements being transmitted to chest and perceived by you as heart fluttering, just avoid aerated drinks and cut down on coffee, alcohol, and beans, etc. For constipation increase fluid intake or you may take a mild laxative.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Varinder Joshi
