A member asked:

I am experiencing rapid heart rate (worsened by: psychological stress, after exercise) , heartburn (gerd) (worsened by: bending forward, eating certain foods.)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe just heartburn: ...But chest pain is nothing to ignore! the potential origin of your symptoms includes: heart, lungs, mediastinum, esophagus, musculoskeletal, pericardium (sac around the heart), pleuritis, bronchiitis, or referred pain from a remote site. Your doctor will be concerned about accompanying fever, blood with coughing, vomiting, shortness or breath, difficulty reclining, tenderness. Get checked please

After I eat certain foods such as tomatoes, oils, or high fat foods, my resting heart rate goes from 65 to 90-120 for hours. I was diagnosed with GERD. However, I can't find anything about GERD and increased heart rate. What could be happening?
