Can GERD cause heart plapitations?
by GarmischPa, Oct 07, 2009 01:06AM
Hello! I hope SOMEONE out there can help me. I am not sure if I have GERD or not since I don't have much heartburn or stomach acid coming up, but I belch ALL DAY and If I don't relieve this pressure it cause heart palpitations. ???? Sometimes my heart will race , other times it thumps and takes my breath away. I don't know where all this air is coming from as I've made dietary changes, I eat smaller meals, I don't lie down after eating, etc. Can Gerd create bloating which presses on the heart??? I am going nuts trying to figure out what to do.I suspect I have a hiatal hernia-could this put pressure on the heart? I'd appreciate any input. Thanks a lot!!!

U do not need to have heart burn to have reflux .......
Until u get to ur dr, try to refrain from eating 3 to 4 hours prior to lying down and be carful as to what u r eating.....please see the Health Pages here on MH for tips and foods to avoid to assist in feeling better.
Please post an update

I also get bloated, heart burn and stomach upset. It gets tiresome, that's for sure. I even got food allergy tested and am trying to avoid certain foods but still get a lot of stomach upset.
Do you have a GI doctor? Are you on any meds? You might want to go and get everything checked out, even your heart. Chances are, it is related to the digestive upset but just to be safe it's a good idea to get a EKG to make sure your heart's fine. Let us know how things go and if it gets any better. Take care!
