After I eat I get bloated, belch alot, have many heart palps that i am sure are PVCs, and I get chest pain...especially in the upper left quadrant, but sometimes in my back and in the area of my liver. I have a history of SVT and have had two ablations. My bowel movements are much different than they used to be, lighter in color and very different in consistency. Every time I eat a meal I get this...I am on Nexium for peptic ulcers...could there be anything else here? I am negative for H. Pylori. Could this be gallstones?

It sounds like you have a combination of things going on. The change in your bowel movements tend to indicate a gallbladder source. The belching, bloating and abdominal pain tend to indicate possible reflux problems. The arrythmias and chest pain can be related to the irritation from reflux as well as possible ischemia to your heart. Whenever you eat, blood flow is diverted to the gut to aid in digestion and absorption. People with coronary occlusions or stenosis are often very sensitive to any blood flow diversion (less blood and oxygen to the coronary vessels) and they have chest pain and/or arrythmias related to the ischemia. Best advice is to follow up immediately with a cardiologist and a gastroenterologist. Your indicated a previous history of SVT, so your heart is already pretty sensitive-don't delay in getting needed workup to prevent more detrimental problems. Best of luck

have you consulted a doctor about this? it's important that a test is done on you to see what causes the PVC's.
you mentioned bloating -- i think you need to cut down on the amount of sodium you consume everyday -- read labels carefully all the time (including sodas and other drinks). excess sodium can cause water retention -- therefore more fluid in the blood -- ths will cause hypertension. severe hypertension can trigger PVC's.

Try to avoid very spicy foods. Eat slowly (it takes about 20 min. to eat at the right rate!). Avoid lying down or leaning way back right after you eat. Plus tell your doctor.
