A member asked:
Why shortness of breath happens during gerd attack & why do you feel spasms that mimic heart palpitations?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GERD: GERD is a known cause of bronchospasm/asthma and causes cough and shortness of breath in susceptible people. The association with palpitations is weak. I suspect you either have coincidental palpitations or another cause which isn't evident from this brief encounter.
