Question 1

can gas in the stomach cause heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

No: To be precise, gas in the stomach can not cause heart palpitations, but it can give the feeling like there is something happening to the heart when there is not.  We frequently have patients who feel "palpitations" while wearing a heart monitor and we see no abnormalities of the heart rate or rhythm.  So, the sensation can come from causes unrelated to the heart.

Question 2

why could gas cause heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

The vagus nerve?: The association between GI activity (e.g. Gas/bloating, acid reflux) and palpitations exists, but we aren't sure why. It may involve the vagus nerve, which controls GI tract as well as the heart, especially the electrical properties of cardiac tissue. Alterations in vagus activity, triggered by GI feedback, may alter conduction properties in heart muscle, leading to fast or irregular heart beats.

Question 3

might gas or heartburn cause heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

Palpitations: Gigas or heartburn can cause palpitations.

Question 4

does masturbation every day cause problems with heart, stomach, lowerback and head problem. because just two days ago randomly my heart start beating(i did masturbation like 12 hours ago).start have heart palpitations and least heart beat of 150?

Accepted Answer

Tachycardia: Any excitement, including orgasm, will accelerate the heart rate but not 12 hours later. If your pulse taking is accurate an episode of 150 beats per minute is a significant tachyarrythmia. Get evaluation by a cardiologist if frequent palpitations &amp; very rapid heart rates occur. Family historyHeart exam,EKG, outpatient heart monitoring and possible treadmill stress testing are the usual screening

Question 5

can gerd/ulcer cause heart palpitations, burning sensation in stomach/oesophagus area in the morning and a burning sensation in the middle of the upper back during the day? how to treat? omeprazole?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, GERD/ulcer can cause the symptoms you are describing. You should see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Omeprazole may help so perhaps you should try it while waiting for your doctor appointment. You may need to see a GI doctor for an upper endoscopy to diagnose the issue. Then, the best treatment can be rendered. Good luck!

Question 6

could having gas have anything to do with heart palpitations?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: In general the two conditions are separate. However it is possible that gassy pain is actually heart pain because the heart is not getting enough oxygen. If the gas happens with exertion or emotional stress, then this would be more likely. The gassy pain and heart palpitations could then both be related to one underlying heart condition. But more info is needed to really know.

Question 7

heart palpitations but with a normal heart rate for 3 weeks on and off. can see heart beating in chest, and stomach.

Accepted Answer

It's okay: Heart palpitation in young/healthy individuals is usually benign. Often it represents a "skipped beat" or premature contraction. Being able to visualize your heart beating in your chest/stomach is common in thin individuals. If your palpitations continue or you pass out then you should see your doctor.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Could be dysrhythmia: you should inquire with your provider. A heart monitor could be helpful.

Question 9

So see your Md and make sure that your heart is Ok and no issues with it. Because if it is from your heart it need attention ASAP

Question 10
