GI Disorder and Internal Shaking

Posted by gigiraj @gigiraj, Feb 15, 2019

Hi all. I'm a 21 year old South Asian female and I have been having GI issues for about five years--mainly along the lines of constipation. I do have bowel movements every day but it takes a long time & I am rarely fully cleared out. These GI issues are always accompanied by other health issues (gas, pressure in head, etc). Recently, some scary new conditions have manifested: In the past few weeks, there have been times where my heart starts beating wildly and very fast. Sometimes, when I'm tired and constipated, my entire body feels like its vibrating internally; the shakes aren't visible but it feels like all my muscles are quivering. At this point, I feel a constant shaking/quivering within my body, especially in my heart cavity.

I have had TWO EKG's and both came back normal. All lab tests for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, etc came back within normal limits. I am very concerned about this internal shaking. My dad says he found something about how GI disorders can impact muscoskeletal system and since the heart is a muscle, it's contracting and being affected. But I wanted to know if anyone here can help!!!!!!! If anyone knows anything at all please please please let me know!!!!!

I would go. I have to force myself to rebook the many appointments I cancel due to not feeling well. I didn’t go to the GI until I was bleeding dark and it was a very large polyp in my stomach that was benign but explained my bad stomachaches and it took a long time for the inflammation to go away.
I kept canceling my 3rd colonoscopy long after it was due and denying the GI’s advice until he said I was a few months away from Stage 1 cancer of the fastest growing most deadly form of colon cancer after they dissected the growth.
I ignored the warning sign in my eye until two doctors said I had experienced a TIA and was definitely going to have a major stroke as both carotids were 70% blocked.
I weigh 117 at 5’1 age 64.
I absolutely hate going into the drs because I usually hear something new. But I’ve learned if I put it off even a few months it’ll be life changing.
I encourage everyone to do preventative care. It’s like the old saying, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, and it’s also cheaper

Thank you for the advice! I’m sorry you had to go through all that, but I’m also glad that they caught things before they got worse. My friends also keep telling me I need to do this, even though I don’t want to. I have such a lack of trust in the medical system, but you’re right. I need to do it just in case there is something they can find and fix. Thank you again and take care.
