Sirs;
I am a 25 year old male, former military, 5'8", 160#, excercises infrequently, formerly trained heavily for distance running.
At age 4 I was diagnosed with ASTHMA and treated with Alupent and the Theophiline Theo-Dur. Attacks were infrequent, but did require hospitalization.
1 year ago I began taking Claritin for allergies. Within 3 months I began suffering extreme anxiety attacks, as well as chemical sensitivities to caffeine.
I stopped taking Claritin after 3 months. Was placed on Allegra. Anxiety attacks returned.
3 months ago I started to suffer from stomach distress, mainly adominal (abdominal) bloating, burning after eating, which tended not to be affected by laying down. Frquently at night I felt as though I suffered from trapped gas in the up GI tract, with difficulty relieving it.
On nights when I felt as though I had gas pressure in my mid esophageal tract, I would tend to drop heart beats. Additionally, I have occassionally had difficulty competing a swallow (food plug seeming to stop near the diaphram.)
I have visitted a Cardiologist and am awaiting the results of the halter and echo.
Anyone else finding a correlation between GERD like symptoms and bradycardia?
