A member asked:

Is there any relation betweendgerd and high heart rate? coz im experiencing one, and my doctor told me my heart was ok

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Gerd involves spillage of stomach acid into the esophagus. This can irritate the nerves of the esophagus causing spasms. It's done through the vagus nerve that also supplies the heart and regulates its rate, so it's possible that gerd has effect on your heart rate.
