GERD AND HEAD PRESSURE

[Imajerk]

I woke up a couple of months ago with 30 minutes of heart palpitations, and then chest gas followed. Eventually a lot of head pressure followed that, with my ears popping. I had been written up as having GERD symptoms years ago, for other reasons, but I never had connected on and off moments of dizziness with GERD. And this time because of the timing, I thought "Ohhhh, this gas has to do with my heart."

Heart specialists seem puzzled though, and thought a cardiac ablation would do the trick ( I already had one as it is).

As I read around, I am finally noting how people with a lot of chest gas can have palpitations, because of irritation of the vagus nerve. I also have read that some people with GERD/gas can get headaches, tinnitus, etc. So I'm going to hit up my Gastroenterologist.

I have the feeling he  may give me Nexium. That stuff scares me because of the rep it has for harming bones. It blocks magnesium absorption or something? I used to take Zantac but I was doing great for nearly a year now, even without taking it, so I didn't bother. But I think I was drinking too much coffee lately and set it off.

Do other people here get head pressure and ear pressure with GERD/chest gas? What are the risks with Nexium?  Are there other options to try?
