Hello...can you tell me the name of the GI physician who diagnosed you? My husband just been doagnosed with the same condition and needs to find a specialist. Thank you.

I have exactly what you describe. At the beginning of my PAC I have a rapid beat 4-7 then back to normal. What did you ever do?

I just returned from Urgent Care where I'd scheduled an appointment because everytime I swallow food, my heart races. They hooked me up to the EKG and let it run while I ate a protein bar. Sure enough, my heart beat went from that of a fit, athlete into hyperdrive everytime I swallowed -racing up to 180 to 190 beats. It immediately came back down until the next swallow. I told the doctor that sometimes after eating I feel pressure at the top of my stomach, right in the middle, just below my chest. There's no chest pain or chest tightness. I told him that my sense is that it's related to my gastrointestinal system -but he's puzzled and wants to consult with a cardiologist, perhaps putting me on meds --which I'm adamently opposed to. Does this sound like what you had?
