Is There Any Relation Between Constipation And Pvc's?
I have had pvc's for about 10 years now. I'm 28, male, great physical shape. Recently I have been constipated for the last week, I have had a serious increase in PVC's during this time. Could their be a correlation between my constipation and pvc's?

HI
As such there is no direct correlation between constipation and PVC . But some indirect correlation exits .
1. If you strain for motions it increases the parasympathetic tone and may cause PVc's .
2. Certain causes of constipation like low potassium , High calcium can cause PVC's .
