A member asked:
Can acid reflux, or gerd, cause an increased heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but ...: It's possible ... If the GERD is very painful. Pain stimulates the vagal nerve (ie, heart rate responds to pain). Try OTC Nexium (esomeprazole) at least 30 minutes before a meal to prevent this from happening. If this doesn't help, see your doctor - as acid reflux can sometimes mask other conditions. Feel better!
