MY ACID REFLUX IS DESTROYING MY HEART! HELP ME PLEASE

I have just started with the exact same thing. The high heart rate is just making me so nervous. Everyday now. I am going through the same thing: ER visit, and Doctor. I was told stress and GERD. I just wish it would stop. I have lost 10lbs and still going. I have cut out all coffee, tea, and other acid foods. Not much left. Please, did they solve your problem. If so pleaes share. 

I know this is over a year ago but my doctor put me on 40mg omerprazole. I have gerd which is baaad acid reflux. Over the counter only has 20mg and does nothing for me. See if you can get this script. I hope you're doing better now...

I've had GERD (acid reflux) since about 2004. At around the same time I also started having "benign" cardiac symptoms including PVC's ("skipped" heartbeats), atrial fibrillation, and tachycardia (fast heartbeat).

I'm very convinced that GERD can and does cause some cardiac abnormalities, and there is some ongoing research into this topic. My cardiac symptoms were almost always related to my heartburn. My personal conclusion is that, for me at least, the connective tissues in the chest cavity (everything is connected in one way or another within the chest) caused the inflamed esophagus to pull or tug on tissues surrounding the heart.

I've taken GERD medications now for about 10 years, and the first thing I noticed was that my chest pain went away very quickly. 

The second thing I noticed is that my arrhythmias decreased as well. I still do have some occasional cardiac symptoms, but every time I get checked the results are benign and never warranted heart medications. 

The correlation in my own experience (between the GERD and heart symptoms) was completely undeniable. I almost always had cardiac symptoms with the GERD, and now (even on GERD medication) I still have some isolated GERD issues, which still seem very closely related to my occasional heart issues.

Be blessed and be well. Best wishes to all of you out there who are suffering GERD and who may also be having heart issues.

I'm just learning about reflux myself as I've had one visit to ER with suspected heart attack.  I have to change my diet and eat smaller meals  (don't eat late at night just before bed) I would recommend probiotic capsules.  My condition has improved since I started taking them.

I would recommend you to have mint tea every morning and night before you sleep.

However you can also get herbal powders and tablets that work wonders for this from herbal stores.

I’ve had Svt and I am convinced it’s gut related. I would recommend Apple cider vinegar in your water and a high fibre, probiotic diet to heal your gut and avoid antibiotics in your diet if possible. Avoid stress and caffeine maybe too

 Hi there ,

 I just read this post  and I was wandering how are you.... I m in some similar situation ... since 1997 Im having problem with my stomach . Last  5 month I Being dealing with terrible stomach pain .... before I had so much pain I could not even be able to   burp. Which  gas bubbles was causing  my heart to beat very fast  pulse  180 _supraventricular tachycardia..... I used any acid and all those mambo jumbo medicine and nothing helped ... I was in ER for maybe 6-7 times ... last time in ER they told me to stop using Anti acids meds cause they not helping ... so I was without any meds dealing with stomach pain and trying to burp so I can avoid SVT  ... Any time I eat anything, there goes burping which I could not be able to burp easy ...  In Internet I found that  trying to throw up by sticking my finger deep in my throat .I can feel gases coming out through my mouth and immediately my heart goes back to normal rates. Also I use vagal monuver , ... I lost 26 pounds  and for  last 2 month I did not had non of this heart problems "Supraventricular tachycardia" .

   Now is much easy less pain cause I saw in Internet that if you use Siberian pine nut oil it will cure ...... I being using Siberian pine Nut virgin oil and let me tell you it works perfectly .First time I use in empty stomach right the first day I noticed difference . I can burp very easy  and way much less pain. As long as I dont let empty stomach .

As long as I dont let my stomach empty .Always  need to eat something.

I could not be able to do endoscopy  cause my Cardiologist think it is cause of my

heart  , He think thats supraventricular tachycardia have nothing

to do with my stomach ( it drives me crazy when I hear this).  .... previous 

gastroenterology think that nothing wrong with my stomach  cause I don't have HP virus  and cause negativity HP   everything  is in my

mind , and he said  stomach have nothing to do with digestion   and cant effect  heart .

( man where did they graduate ).  

Well now I have very good gastroenterologist and he was able to convince others that I need to do endoscopy .So to day after non I will be having endoscopy and will see what is in my stomach .... I hope  to day I will not have  stomach pain cause I have to have empty stomach ... Oh I think I have Ulcer  and some form of hernia  somewhere .... I hope I don't have cancer or some other dangerous thing . 

So ... SIBERIAN virgin PINE NUTS OIL really does help big time.

 Has being 3 years since you posted this .I would really like to know how is your health to day ... I hope all is well . 

Sorry English not my first language .

Can u tell me how r u right now?

This thread is a little old but I hope to help some & to hear of any successes. 

**Too little acid is my answer.

It’s a long. story & I’m also on a smartphone, so...  Approximately 5 years ago I was hit with shortness of breath (SoB).  It was out of the blue & so severe I would more or less freak out (felt like I was suffocating & my heart would race til I nearly blacked out).  

Some facts that got buried early was it happened consistently after eating,  lying down & exercising.

At the time I was say 15lbs overweight, in a stressful but rewarding job, eating out more than I should have & training for a marathon (not going playing around - 7 minute mile stuff).

Tons of trips to different doctors that nearly killed me via heart medicine I didn’t need & superhigh doses of PPIs that basically had me passing partially undigested food... which caused other many other issues.

I took a year off from work because doctors swore it was depression or anxiety... which I was like okay let’s see (so stupid because I sat broke & going into debt with all the same symptoms for that year).

So I dug deeper & began paying cash to high/end physicians... & one of them was an MD that had gone into wholistic medicine after having been misdiagnosed himself.

He read my through my records & laughed telling me they’re treating you for the opposite condition.  He believed I had some unknown issue causing my body to creat too little acid.

I take Thorne BPP
