When I lie down at night for bed, I sometimes get what I consider odd heart palpatations. My heart feels as though its beating oddly and very hard. It can last for a few minutes then subsides. It only appears at night. Anyone else with this?

I take prilosec and zantac.
 
I finally have put all my symptoms together and the doctor agrees that it is damage to the vagus nerve from MS> It started with rapid heart rate which i take medicine for. Went to the throat about 10 years later and now is in the stomach with trouble digesting. The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve that runs thru the throat voice heart and enRAB in stomach
 
Hi there :)

Just a quick question, can a heavy pounding heartbeat (normal pace, bmp) be linked to acid reflux ?

Many thanks
 
Right so I stopped the meRAB for the acid, and it looks to have had a good effect on the palpatations, far less pounding heart. Not sure now about the liver though as im very drunk and typing on a tiny mobile laptop, so excuse any spelling mistakes, but so far so good (Untill the morning)

luckily there are many great chemists in spain, and you can get just about anything without prescription, so i stalked up on some tablets along with liquid type anti acid meRAB.

anyway speak to you all later :dizzy:
 
Blues, I would like to know what medication it was you were on that your doctor said caused the heavy heart pounding and twitching. Because ive been on an assortment of PPI pills and i soon started to get heavy heart palpitations AND im getting muscle twitching/spasms all over the place, mostly in the abdomen area.

I have stopped use of all PPI/acid reflux pills for 3 months but im still twitching all over the place. its very frustrating.

I would like more info from what your doc exactly said about the pounding and twitching and how its related to the med u were on and what med you were on.

Thanks!
 
I know acid reflux medication causes palpitations (heart pounding). My doc took me off my GERD medication the second I mentioned these palpitations. In fact, I am on my fourth medication...

If you're taking medication for acid reflux, talk to your doc about getting something else.

Hows Ireland... always wanted to go there.
 
I get this sometimes but wonder if mine is connected to the Protonix or strong antihistamines/decongestants I'm taking. I wonder if you don't notice this during the day because your busy. This is my 7th day off of Protonix so if I still have this I guess it's due to the allergy medicine.
 
I was doing a search for Protonix and came across your post. Decongestants and antihistamines can elevated your blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure it is dangerous to use decongestants. The decongestants, like Sudafed for one which is an otc drug, can increase your heart rate. Rapid heart rate can cause palpitations. Ask your doc.
 
I would be quite interested in knowing if any of you also suffer from sinus problems also and think there is a link to acid reflux or gerd. In my case persistent sinus inflammation.

Between allergy, acid reflux, sinus problems, heart palpatations and the multiple other problems with myself I think they are all linked, I will get a referral to a specialist when I get home from Spain next week sometime.

I think sinus problems linked to acid reflux is a fairly new thing? Maybe not? Something to do with producing too much mucus?

Anyone also getting the palps that are visable in the stomach?

I generally feel ill everyday, its hard not to get down when you constantly feel tired and sick, and living in what feels like a contstant cloudy headed cr*p dream.
 
Hi there, thanks for the reply :) I might quit the tablets i am on and see how much of a difference it makes, I havent been feeling that much better while taking them anyway.

Ireland is good, although would you believe I am in the South of Spain at the minute :) meant to be having a good time but affraid im having a rough time with this heavy beat and acid reflux, along with eye pain, chest pain like im taking a heart attack, shooting pains in my arms, back pain and random jabbing pains down my tubes lol, but sure no better place than a beautiful place to feel like cr*p.

Thanks again, when i get home i will look into this much further, I feel terrible at the minute
 
Sorry to hear your troubles, it sounRAB like you're on vacation. Hope you feel better.
 
Dont exactly know the cause. Im not currently on any medication so I think its down to acid reflux. Need to get some medication for it so i'll ask the doc at the hospital on Monday. Thanks for the reply!
 
hey acid relux has a cure,
First you need to know that all acid relux medicine are only for giving you relief not curing.
Second you need to introduce laugh in your life a lot find some firenRAB and spent most of the time with them where you enjoy the most.
Third Relax and forget about your problem and try to live normal life by doing some excercise daily......must.
Trust me i had severe symptom of acid reflux (Gerd+Throat pain+Tongue Burning) its all gone .

by spending most of the time with my frienRAB laughing and chatting and doing excercise regularly (yoga) now i am not at all taking acid medication.

and...The more you think about it the worse it goes....i had all your symptoms and doctor was keep on suggesting one and another medicine for palpitation..depression..acid reflux..bla bla...and i was really gone mad with throat pain ...tongue burning sensation..heart palpitation while going to sleep anytime....

but its all gone cuz i have forgotten about it .....i just started enjoying my life in this pain as well ...by excercising spending time out.... relaxing and it went automatically..

so most of the problems are in our head..............try to relax . go for movies...sports ...gym ...yoga....forget about anything just have fun...all the way... all these problems will disappear trut me...plz.
 
I too get this really bad heavy pounding in chest. Think it is due to acid reflux but that is only a guess. It can be really scary cos sometimes I think i'm going to pass out with it. I have had really bad problems with acid for years now and it is only getting worse. It sometimes feels sore and quite difficult to swallow my food and makes life really miserable. Going into hospital on Monday to have ERCP done because i have Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction, which means that there is a valve next to my gallbladder that is too tight so i get a lot of pain at right side too. Not a very happy life at the moment. Lost 4 stone in 3 months cos i can't eat. Anyone else have these symptoms?
 
I am thinking the twitching is my low vitamin D level. I bet it is not up to normal yet. Ugh!

Also...I do have bad sinus trouble and allergies almost year round so yes! I think that causes some of my reflux trouble. Grrrrh!

Hang in there too!
 
I stopped my acid meRAB, which has had a good effect on the palpatations, well those and coffee and caffine in general.

Now I have the terrible heartburn, which I would rather have that the heart pounding. I am asking my Dr for a referral letter in the morning for a specialist.

Ahh another question, do any of you wake with what I can only describe as confusion or racing thoughts with the reflux? Im thinking that the acid pain is maybe just waking me at the wrong time or during a dream or whatever, ahh I dunno :D
 
So are you all saying that you can get heart palpatations with reflux alone? Because I have been having them alot the past couple of days. I haven't even been taking reflux meRAB at all. But I am having heart palpatations and muscle twitches for 3 days. It is freaking me out, not to mention the reflux. Anyone have any idea's?:confused:
 
My heart goes nuts as soon as lay down lately .. I would be so tired but can't fall a sleep because my heart is pounding so hard, and it gets doubly worse if I lay on my left side. Does this happen to anyone?
