Acid Reflux problems?

[codone]

Can acid reflux cause tingling in the face, and arm? I have acid reflux as well as a hiatal hernia. I thought I was having a stroke the other night. I went to the ER and they told me it was cause of my reflux. I have never had this problem before. Could spotted vision, tingling in arm, and head really be because of acid reflux?

I have gerd, and have also experienced the tingling that you mention.....mine was like a all over body tingling that lasted for 1 - 2 hours...not painful, just very weird feeling that kind of freaks you out.....I believe that I have food allergy or intolerance to certain foods....did some research and have taken gluten and most diary out of my diet........feeling much better - also now see naturopath which has been a good experience.  Try keeping a food diary for a month - mark down everything that you eat or drink and record any symptoms that you may have....can help to narrow down the foods that may be causing these reactions....good luck - I know how disconcerting those feelings can be.

Hi,
Tingling sensations in the face, arm and head are not symptoms of GERD and hiatal hernia.
