What Causes P[ain Left Side Chest Before Bowel Movement?
Sometimes I get a mild pulse jerk on the left side of my chest prior to having a bowel movement. The bowel movements are normal, no blood or diareha it does not happen all the time, but bothers me when it does. There are not after effects either, seems when I poop, it goes away. I had a bladder correction surgery 5 yrs ago and as a result have a minor protrusion of my bowl through my vagina, has been monitored and no need for surgery yet.

Hello,
After going through your query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that chest pain before bowel movement can be because of gas pressure which is normal. It's recommended for you to take antacid available over the counter for the next 15 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
