hello, I'm having something strange.
It feels like gass is moving around my heart. Could it be the fluttering
from my heart?? When I lay my hand on my chest, I can feel that there
is something moving very fast, now is it just a spasm or is it my heart??
I must say that I have been examined twice, and that I don't have a heart
disease or a malfunction. The doctors said it's stress.
I also suffer the last few days from PVC's a can actually feel now.
I didn't feel them before. I also have a acid reflux. And when my heart flutters, I sometimes feel it in my neck.
Could it be my heart, or is it just stress again that causes spasm and make
me afraid???????
thx

Hi, Frederick,
I'm curious to see what the docs tell you.  I thought I was the only one that felt flutters in my throat or the front of my neck.  That has just started, tho.  I also have acid reflux, and it's scary as I wonder if what I feel in my chest is GERD or heart.  So far, all tests indicate the heart is OK.  I know that over the past year since I was diagnosed with GERD (the heart flip flops are only about 3 months old), I have read on the gastro MedHelp board that people have stated they feel their GERD can cause palpitations.  I have heard people respond both ways to that question.  I do know that last year GERD caused spasms of my upper esophageal sphincter muscle which gave me swallowing problems until, after 3 months of suffering, they switched me to Prevacid.  It even refluxed up into my nose one time-that was weird!  Anyway, good luck!
