Desperate for help!

[Coleena]

I have been going to doctors for approx. 1 yr. I have had heart cath, Stomach and chest ct scan, endoscopy, gallbadder utrasound,etc. To no advail. My problem is that I started out just having a little discomfort in my mid stomach area and I was having a funny sensation in my chest well I finally figured out that the sensation was actually my heart skipping beats (or early beats as they put it)and rapid pulse. As time has went on I have come to realize that these heart sensation occur more after eating and now I am having a very full feeling in my mid stomach area and a little nausea. I can even be just riding down the road and the vibration from the car will make my stomach move and immediately my heart will skip a beat. I almost feel like my food is not digesting properly and it is swelling my stomach which is pushing on the artery running by my stomach. I am so fustrated cause no one seems to believe that my stomach has anything to do with my heart but I know that this is happening.
I am not a hypocondriact, I know that this is happening and I am real concerned cause I feel it is getting worse. As a matter of fact I am really scared. There are no doctors in my area that have a specialty in this area. All test have revealed no answers.
PLEASE give me some suggestions as to what it could possibly be or research I can do on my own. I have searched the internet and I can not find anything that have digestive and heart related symptoms

I do take BC powders, which are aspirin. As bad as I hate to admit I have taken 4 BCs a day, which is the same as 8 aspirin and have taken them for an extremely long time, probably 8 years. But I have slowed down to 1 BC a day which is the same as 2 aspirins. I actually quit for 2 weeks cause I was having a thyoid biopsy and the symtoms continued.

Okay - I have no heartburn or any signs of hiatial hernia. My husband had this years ago and he had heartburn extremely bad and he thought he was having heartattack several times. My heart feels like it is skipping which doctor explained it is EARLY BEATS, what is this actually? I can feel in my pulse that my heart stops for a second. I have had people take my pulse and I can feel the sensation in my chest at the exact moment that they feel a so called skipped beat. My stomach JUST RECENTLY started having the bloating feeling (and its not an ulcer cause I had one years ago so I know what that feels like)right below my rib cage opening to right above my belly button. As a matter of fact like just sitting here now my stomach is all protruding (like fatness)at top and it feels like I am putting pressure on from just sitting. What is the medical term for the early beats?

Yoshi is right about things weakening the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (the "LES"). They also include chocolate, caffiene, alcohol, and mint (peppermint for example). A weakened LES exasperates GERD. Avoiding these foods, eating a low fat diet, losing weight (if one is obese), not eating or drinking anything three hours before going to bed, and sleeping with the head of the bed elevated about six inches, also help manage GERD.

Well
5 odd years of a darting pain that feels like it

Long-term use of certain kinds of pain killers can cause your symptoms.

Do you take either aspirin, Advil, Aleve, or Motrin?

I haven't read this entire thread so forgive me if this idea has been mentioned already.
