Can gastritis cause shortness of breath and unnecessary heart beats?

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

No: Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. It should not cause difficulty breathing or extra heartbeats. Upper abdominal or chest discomfort associated with these symptoms may be a sign of heart disease. Discuss with your doctor.
