Recently diagnosed and trying to work out triggers
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi, recently posted about being newly diagnosed. Cardio said that my GERD will affect it as will food etc. Last 2 really big flutters have been when I have had wind am I imagining it or does wind make it worse, felt like a firework was going in my chest, stabbings, fluttering, lurcking sort of feeling and then left with fast heart beat. The pain is what I hate through the middle and into my left breast area (am female). I feel drained for a couple of days after. I only have them occasionally, every couple of weeks or so, but I have been constipated and they have been worse this week. Does anyone else get worse like this. Thanks

Hello there, yes I definitely find a link with GERD and fluttering even tho my cardio didn't agree. Also important not to become constipated, I can hear my stomach gurgle followed by a definite palpitation or flutter, or whatever you call it. It's horrible, I'm going to try the FODMAP diet which is recommended on this forum, maybe you should look into this too. It's amazing how many sufferers have GERD on here, are you on omeprazole too? Sorry you've had to join our club, but you'll find lots of help here with lovely people. All the best to you. By the way what meds are you on?

Hi Pauline, What's does the FODMAP diet consist of? As there are certain foods I have to avoid because of the Warfarin tabs. x

Hi Penny, I'm a newbie to FODMAP, if you can look at Sandi's reply to me on here, I'm picking up loads of tips on this forum, and researching Google. Really interesting stuff and seems to work for lots of us who have GERD. I'm on anti coags too. Mainly wheat is bad for you but surprisingly lots of other stuff like dried fruit which I used to eat a lot of. Have a research Penny and all the best X

Hi, Have you ever been diagnosed with IBS or Coeliac Disease? I ask because since I started eating wheat and dairy free foods my symptoms have improved quite a lot. I was diagnosed with AFib back in 2011 and was also, told that I have a Hiatus Hernia which in my case can move up and down and touch the heart which is what set my episodes off. I used to take Sotalol for SVT but, those tabs wasn't helping the AFib so, the cardiologist prescribed me Bisoprolol which got slowly increased to 10mg. ( Touch wood ) things are still alright and have been for quite some time now. So, don't give up hope x

Sorry to hear that you have so many unpleasant things to deal with, but as far as constipation is concerned, do you drink enough water because that's what helps me.
