Hi and thanks for the query,

IBS is a functional disorder of the bowel which is associated with abnormal sensitivity of the bowel. It is also associated with some of the other functional disorders like anxiety disorder,panic disorder, or depression. Some of these can be associated with palpitation but a localised pain is normally not a feature of functional disease. Hence get yourself worked up for pleural pathologies or even a renal stone.

Hope I have answered your query. Please do get back to me if you have any more queries.

Wishing you good health.
