Belching when running and some dizzy spells
by MidwestDavid, May 29, 2007 12:00AM
I am 55 yrs old. Have high blood pressure and take 150mg of Avapro. I try to run/jog 3-4 days per week.
I have noticed a lot of belching when I run. About once or twice a month, I can be running just fine, start belching, and sometimes get lightheaded or dizzy and have to stop running. When I start walking, instead of running, the symtom goes away.
I can run 6 miles one day with no problems and then the next day have this happen after 1 or 2 miles.
Is this maybe a hiatal hernia? Acid reflux? I don't usually belch acid fluid when this happens.
Is it blood pressure related or meds?
Help!

Hello,
Is this maybe a hiatal hernia? Acid reflux?
Not sure how to answer this. If I saw a 55 year old in the office with belching that got better with rest and occurred only during exercise, I would consider a stress test to rule out cardiac causes.
Is it blood pressure related or meds?
If the symptoms are starting now and you have been on the medications for a while, I doubt they would be the cause. You should see your doctor and decide if you need further medical evaluation.
I hope this helps.

what's going on. Many persons, myself included, associate the onset of
vagally-mediated AF with belching. AF can also produce dizziness.
Good luck
He was in constant flutter and had to have an ablation. Problem cured.
I had exercise induced AFIb. I had some of the same symptoms you mentioned when I went into AFIB. I had an ablation and no longer have it.
So I would definitely get checked out, since there could be a reasonable solution.
