This can cause pain known as angina. It's a symptom of heart disease but typically does not cause permanent damage to the heart. It is, though, a sign that you are a candidate for a heart attack at some point in the future. The chest pain may spread to your arm, shoulder, jaw, or back.
Frequent bowel movements. Definition. There's not a generally accepted clinical definition for frequent bowel movements. Most people consider several bowel movements a day to at least be unusual, particularly if this pattern is a change from what's normal. However, if nothing else about your bowel movements is different â no loose, watery stools, abdominal cramping or bloody stool â the change is probably not a sign of any illness.
Constipation (what TV ads call irregularity) means that you're not moving your bowels often enough, and your bowel movements are harder and drier than normal. Normal bowel movements should be soft and easy to pass. They shouldn't be dry, hard, or painful.
