Angry palpitations and Gerd

Ive noticed that some of the Symptons of Gerd is Palpitations. Was wondering if anyone else was woken up by them in the early hours of the morning? I generally get woken up at about 02.00am and also get a burning chest. Does anyone know of a way to combat this problem?

I get this too. I go to bed around 3-4am and wake up about 6am with a racing pulse and palpatations. I take Toprol for high blood pressure and notice when it starts to wear off i get them. May be a combination of the two.

Strange! After reading your post i suddenly thought to myself medication. So i did a online check of medications i take. I noticed that Ramipril can cause you to have Fast Heart beat, so im wondering if that could be the cause, as i take one before Bedtime.

The Aciphex and the Protonix both give me nightmares and I wake up with my heart racing. I know it's from the medication because I don't have heart problems and never had this before. It's scary though.

Re: palpitations and Gerd

Lately I have been having a "heavy heartbeat" not fast or fluttery. It has just been very heavy like i can feel it in my chest. I dont know if it's anxiety or some side effect of gerd but it is very scary. Again i have had 4-5 ekg's 4-5 xrays, 4-5 blood work, 4-5 urin work and an echo cardiogram and 3-4 doctors tell me my heart is fine. Well doc's it sure as hell doesnt feel fine
