    Empty Stomach vs Eptopic Beats

    Hi everyone. Newbie here.

    I've suffered with eptopic beats on and off for a few months now. ECG shows nothing abnormal. Had 24hr tape and blood test but no calls from the doctors, so I'm guessing its normal activity there.
    Does any one here though think the eptopic beats happen when they have an empty stomach?
    Or Does any one suffer with eptopic beats prior to bowel movements?

    I can't seem to put my finger on what causes mine.

    It could be IBS but not been clinically diagnosed with it.
    Any thoughts?

    I just had a run of ectopic beats last night while having a very filling dinner (and it was very late). They lasted a few minutes and scared the crap out of me! I've also noticed that I get them if I don't eat for more of the day or are very anxious about something. Sometimes i'll just get them out of the blue. I can't seem to figure it out. Do you get runs of them?

    Remember there is alot going on in the heart area. Your abdominal area stomach,intestines etc. You may perceiving something that is not your heart. Could be gas or alot of different things in that area. Can be confusing and raise your anxiety level which makes it worse. If your test are clear for your heart most likely your fine. Focusing on your heart is easy to do in an anxiety state. I do it to but getting better.
