Nocturnal PVC's AND GERD

I don't know if this forum is still active or not since the last post I saw was May, 2003. I'll give it a shot anyway.

I have a combination of three major issues:
1. Coronary artery disease with a history of a triple bipass followed 10 years later with 2 stents.
2. COPD, currently with normal 02 saturations
3. Extremely active GERD primarily active after going to bed. This is so active that I occassionally have to regirgitate acid.

During cardiac rehab, my cardiologist noted sporadic PVC's, initially at rest trigeminy and decreasing in frequency as exercise progressed. He decided to order a 24 hr holter. The results of the holter showed occassional PVC's during the daytime while I was active with much higher activity between the hours of 1 -5 A.M. He has decided to follow up with an overnight oximetry to see if there is any relationship between increased PVC's and lower O2 sats.

However, I don't think I have yet discussed my extremely active GERD duing the same hours.

Does anyone give me input regarding this relationshp????

Thanks for any input
