I'm new here......Heart Palpitations

5 Replies

Hi,

Could anybody share with me, what they do to get rid of these heart palpitations? I mostly get them just after I eat something. It normally goes away on its own without me noticing because I try my best to distract myself. My question would be, how do I avoid it before it even starts and also, does anyone know where it stems from?

TIA

I've had them for years. Mine were diagnosed as PVC's. There's a wealth of information online about how acid reflux (even if you're not aware you have it) can irritate the vagus nerve and cause palpitations. I've been on Nexium for years with no problems, but there are other remedies. It will make you feel very anxious, but may be a physical problem such as this.

Yes, it's very true acid reflux can cause them. I also thought I was having heart problems years ago. I wore a holtor monitor, and was diagnosed with PVC's. Also diagnosed with acid reflux, and prescribed Nexium. I started noticing when my reflux was treated, the palpitations stopped. Still true today. I can feel reflux when I eat something that doesn't agree with me. I'm on 20mg Nexium now, but will take 40 if they're bad. Google acid reflux and palpitations.
