Hi everyone -
I am new to this forum and want to tell everyone with GERD that I am sorry - it's awful. For me the worst part is feeling like I constantly have a burp stuck in my throat and then when it comes up another one comes right behind it.
When it finally does come up it's acid.
Here's my question. Does anyone ever get what they think is a skipped beat but it's actually the GERD. I think that it may be worse for me becasue I have what my docotor describes as a "dynamic pulse" and you can actually see the pulse in my throat so I feel everthing in that area and assume that it's my heart.
Anyone else?
Hi,
Nice to meet you. I have heart palps with my GERD too. I have just been recently diagnosied but before that my DR wanted to tell me I was having panic attacks. I am still going thru testing but this sucks.
Palpitations can be caused by GERD and of course a host of other conditions as well. I know when my GERD is acting up, which is most of the time, the palps are more active or maybe more noticed. I hate this, it sucks and nothing so far is giving me ultimate relief. I'm now on my 4th different drug for this and if this doesn't do it, surgery is next. So we all agree, this sucks!!!! Hang in there!
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Do either of you live in New England? I'm just wondering becasue it seems like after this incredibly long winter my anxiety and my GERD just flared right up! Do either live with a significant other who doesn't seem to understand either? My husband tries so hard to understand but I can tell that he gets frustrated - a LOT! Maybe we both just need the sunshine!
I too get the heart palps. sometimes so intense that I get breifly lightheaded.
I have anxiety really bad..... and sometimes I get what I call the (shakes or weak trembles) I am yet to be told by my doc. that it was gerd related and he hasnt really told me anything. I went in today for yet another upper GI and small bowel study. we will see how this one turns out. because I can eat and im choking and burping up the undigested food the next day even. most days I can only handle one small meal and this is hard when my GERD or IBS is acting up who knows which one is causing what?
at times I wake up in the morning trembling with my heart racing... I hate this stuff and I want my life back.. from one thing to another. I suffered endometriosis for 16 years then after total hysterectomy ... I have been diag. with IBS, GRADE 2 GERD, HIATAL HERNIA,ESAPHAGITIS, ANXIETY DISORDER w/ DEPRESSION AT TIMES
NOW HAVE FOUND NODULES IN MY THYROID I SEE endocronoligist next month for that... hope i didnt leave anything out.
Id just like to know WHEN IS IS OVER.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND ALL OF US!
