Question 1

does acid reflux cause heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

No: Unless its not acid reflux but heart problem.

Question 2

does heartburn or acid reflux cause heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

Possible cause: Acid reflux can be associated with heart palpitations. Both conditions are so relatively common that proving a relationship when both are present is difficult.

Question 3

can chronic gastritis or acid reflux cause an increase in anxiety, leg feeling weird(mostly knee), heart palpitations, lower back soreness, and tingling feeling in arms?

Accepted Answer

No.  The opposite: Often chronic anxiety will worsen chronic gastritis, not the other way around.  Reflux has little to do with anxiety but the symptoms of reflux and gastritis are almost identical (burning over upper abdomen, lower chest) and you MAY be confusing one with the other.

Question 4

which acid reflux pill has least side effects? most of them give me heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

: You should review the medicines you have tried with your doctor since there may be a class of medicines you did not try. You would need to try a medicine in a different class than the ones you did try to see if that avoids the palpitation side effect you are experiencing. A GI doctor may be helpful as well to recommend a different medication. Good luck!

Question 5

out of breath, palpitations, heart vibration and acid reflux after eating (n.b lately discovered i have a 3rd heart sound.) what could it be ?

Accepted Answer

Your probably fine: A third heart sound in a 20 year old can be normal. While its hard to say not to go to the er with your symptoms (given the litigious nature of our medical system) i can say, unless you have a significant family or personal history of heart problems, or use drugs, your risk of a significant heart problem is minimal at your age. I would go to the er if it got worse otherwise your regular doc asap.

Question 6

Have your: Doctor consider other possibilities. Eosinophilic esophagitis and functional dyspepsia can cause the same symptoms. You may need an endoscopy to better evaluate.

Accepted Answer

I would not take pep: I would suggest you would possibly benefit from avoiding dairy-more calcium in broccoli that dairy . Both asthma and reflux are common in people who do not digest dairy well 
All meals should have healthy proteins, healthy fats and lots of green leafy veggies, nothing else is actually needed -we are sold a lot of stuff that is not really healthy and causes medical problems (asthma /reflux )

Question 8

what can i do?: acid reflux and heart palpitation?

Accepted Answer

Associated diet?: Caffeine is the most common substance associated with heart arrhythmias (palpitations). Some people feel heart palpitations when they drink coffee or tea or eat chocolate.

See primary doctor for further evaluation.
