A member asked:
Can gerd cause palpitations? also, if it is not the gerd causing the palps is it safe to take ppi's like omeprazole or lansoprazole with palps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Gerd does not cause arrhythmias but may cause unusual sensations in the chest. Taking a proton pump inhibitors such as Omeprazole would not be likely to pose a significant risk. However without knowing the exact cause of palpitation, cannot comment specifically.
