Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Since you are already suffering from IBS I take it as the necessary tests of blood, stool, CT scan and colonoscopy are normal.
This further indicate that the basic cause is anxiety and/or stress which in turn can cause tachycardia of 126 beats per minute, shortness of breath and so on.
But on a precautionary note you should get a consultation of a Cardiologist for clinical evaluation, examination and investigations either to prove a cause and get treated accordingly or rule-out any cardiac problem and thus get treated properly for anxiety and stress to get a relief.
Also identify the foods, beverages or any other factors that are known to give the symptoms and stop all these altogether.
Once a proper treatment is given all the symptoms may get solved. Continue with the proper management as all such problems are known to recur.
