The term is gastroenteritis and is an inflammation of the stomach lining and intestinal lining in some cases, can be quite disruptive and even painful. With proper treatment, even with simple rest and restricted diet for several days, symptoms resolve successfully. In patients pre-disposed to IBS, the symptoms can oftentimes be quite excacerbated or dramatic.  

It is without doubt, common for palpitations to occur in the presence of this sort of inflammation, mostly because the GI tract disturbances represent the main stimulus that causes benign palpitations.

You'll be fine. Get rest, eat light and don't overdo the liquids. You'll need to be careful of electrolyte loss if the diarrhea persists, but be very careful when using replacement products that have a high sugar content, which only serves to increase diarrhea symptoms.

Best regards and Good Health

Also just got up codine making me feel a little weird but helping with the pain, my heart keeps racing when I get up? and I've got a pain in my right upper back.

Just want it to subside a little.

Thanks for listening

Thank you

Went and saw my doctors today and he told me to stop taking the codine too, I feel quite light headed at the moment but only had mebeverine about 8 hours ago.  

The doctor gave me Ranitedene to stop the acid and Amitriptyline he said this is good for constipation dominant IBS too, and said it will help a little with my anxiety I'm only to take 10mg once a day at night.

Is this correct I did say about the one you recommended and said I'd spoken to another doctor about it, but he said he thought this one would be a better option. What to you think?

Also sending me for more blood tests, checking electrolytes, Thyroid, liver, something else, aneamia and FBC

Thank you for replying tummy feeling ok just I'm now feeling spaced out, haven't eaten loads though only little bits and water.

Hi

Went upstairs and sat down and my heart slowed down, but all today it's felt not poundy but weird, but has been normal a little fast but whenever I stand from sitting it goes fast and poundy and when I sit it feels poundy and echoey for a moment. my chest is also a little achey and I'm feeling uncontrollerbly anxious, trying really hard to get rid of the your going to end up in hospital thoughts.

Is it normal to feel like this after gastrenteritis? Just a little reassurance please?  

Thank you

Kath

Hi Mia

Great to hear from you again, had to move because of all the porn posts!

Yeah I've had Echo, 24 hour ECG and loads of ECGs and blood tests for everything and just had some more done.

Logic is trying to tell me it's because I've had a bad stomach for the past few days, but when it gets so bad where it races when I stand and then takes a minute to get back to normal when I sit it just frightens me, I've been burping all the time though.  I'm dishing out advice all over the place and not actually taking it myself.  I suppose I've worried myself that the gastroenteritis has done damage of some sort.   Also this time last year tomorrow I was in hospital for having loads of missed beats and a fastish heart rate.

I was doing so well just like you, and as soon as I started to wind down and I got my period bam I feel bad, it's been 3 weeks of acid and IBS and now Gastroenteritis so hoping it all calms down and Hoping I can get a bit more positive.

Thanks for posting it's great to hear from you, just think how you were doing the other day.  How are you?

Kath
