recently ive been having more frequent heart flutters and skips with the sensation of passing out !! I have acid reflux bad I take omeprazole 40 mg I ran out of my meds and started taking over the counter omeprazole I had bad skips and sweats that caused me to go to the ER they did a stress on my heart said it was fine could there be a problem going on in my esophegous causing these heart symptoms? Help desperate for peace of mind!
3 days ago I started to feel like I was having heart palpitations which became so intense that yesterday I had a full blown panic attack & called an ambulance. Apart from my very rapid pulse & hyperventilation all my other tests (ecg, blood pressure, blood oxygen etc) were fine resulting in the panic attack diagnosis. I have since done a lot of online research & found that there may be a link between stimulation of the vagus nerve from acid reflux resulting in heart palpitations.
My doc seemed amazed that the stomach could affect the heart and didnt seem to believe the specialist. Am dazed and confused and sick of worrying about my heart. I also once had a dream in which on three different occasions my heart was torn from my body. On one instance I was a Mayan sacrifice and the other I remember took place during the second world war. I was a doctor and had been caugh and my heart cut out. I cant remember the third.
I started Metoprolol ER 100 mg once a day for High blood pressure and the doctor believed this would also help the palpitations by slowing the heart and help with the anxiety? This worked for about 2 years, I had the palpitations but where not crazy like the 700+ maybe 30-70 a day if I could feel them. But I had to change the dosage because I am always tired now and have no energy and when I stand up my heart starts pounding I can feel it in my chest and neck. Not like my palpitations.
My GP thinks I have diaphram irritation and has put me on Omeprazole once a day, and says I am suffering from benign palpitations. Will these symptoms evenually settle and should I have another 24 hour tape done?
Hi there! I have the thumping heart beat and palpitations too, CAUSED BY the vitamin d deficiency.Give it time, that's your only option right now.
m wondering if this could have something to do with a combination of sleep apnea (waking up not breathing and having to inhale deeply) and some kind of heart condition (the combination of the sharp pain and subsequent rapid heart beat and palpitations). Also, its possible that the collarbone i broke on my right side a year ago (which has kept my sternum out of alignment often) has something to do with the pain.
re generally benign in nature and your heart is unaffected by them. Chronic SVT events are another matter, and can lead to problems, especially if you are an older person. This was the prime reason I had my near lifelong SVT addressed. My events were usually easily managed without hospitalization.
I think you're taking the correct path in dealing with your SVT, but I'd check again regarding your dose of omeprazole.
ive seen my doc whos done tests,not quiet sure yet whats going on but maybe emotional trauma,anxiety or a heart problem but i have palpitations for sure.just get it checked out and tell him or her that everything even if you take drugs.good luck.
Reverted back to my former cardiologist and she feels as though Acid Reflux/GERD is what is causing a majority of my symptoms and put me on Omeprazole. Recent followup and she has changed the rx to Pantoprazole, I believe it is supposed to be longer lasting. She mentioned also wanting to do another stress test as well. Personally don't want to endure more radiation as I am scanned all the time for one reason or another in trying to provide a dx for all my problems.
Following a valve replacement and triple bypass I was discharged from Hospital with a number of drugs and a new one being Omeprazole. I did not know why it was prescribed but after a number of months taking it I decided after discussion with my Doctor to stop taking it. A few months later through the night I got this terrible chest pain on a scale of 1-10 I guess it was 7-8.
Sick sinus syndrome and Norpace? I have had palpitations for years on and off but never were they captured on halter monitor or stress testing. They finally became bad enough that when I went to cardiologist office I went into a-fib and then back into NSR. I had an echocardiogram which they said was basically unchanged and showed good cardiac function. I had been placed on Topral approximately two weeks prior 25mg by my PCP due to mild HTN and c/o palpitations.
I am really feeling weak and unwell, and when I stand up my chest and abdomen both hurt and the palpitations start. When Iam lying down I feel much better. The ER doctor just gave me a prescription for a puffer. Does anyone have an idea as to what it can be, or what tests i should ask for.
Since then I take Zantac, it does next to nothing even though I take 4 maximum strengths a day, and I pop tums all day, but the heart palpitations have gone away. Not really sure what my next move is going to be. Maybe after 6 months of this I can go back to the protonx for a while.
almost daily random (inexplicable) fevers, random (inexplicable) sharp pains throughout my body (bones, joints, veins), random feelings of heart palpitations or like my heart skips a beat and then thuds back into rhythm; a few random rashes (which may not even be related). No heartburn (no chest pain) but sometimes I do feel/taste that "sourness" is bubbling up from my stomach (I think I may have a weak esophageal sphincter).
Hi there,I am 26 female I got heartburn twice in December, it was hard cause I taught I was having a heart issues as it caused me palpitations. I went to a doctor and he gave me Pantoprazole and domperidone.As I’m taking it, I feel bloated and got burning sensation on my stomach, joint pain and more palpitations and left chest pain so I returned and the doctor said I might have AAA coz I got pulse visible on my abdomen.
you should take it 30-60min before eating. Are you doing this? and i agree with bobby that what you are feeling is the acid reflux.
My gastro doctor did a follow up endoscopy about 8 weeks later and all was clear. I was using omeprazole to clear the ulcer. Fast forward to now. I have the following symptoms. Lumpy throat (on and off) very short like pinch sensation lower esophagus (on and off) Upper abdominal stomach "raw" type ache on the left and right side - happened twice recently. Occasional heartburn and really bad foul smelling flatulence.
If I were you I would lso aget the EKG done anyway as I have done to rule heart problems and maybe if it is negative get an 24 hour heart monitor and/or echocardiogram. But I've had my sharp pains in my chest since I was a kid and it also responds to Gas-X . But I have palpitations too and they got worse so I had the whole thing done. Better to be safe as they say.. I did end up having a benign arrhythmia but that wasn't causing the main chest pain or the stomach pain.
Well I went to a&e anyway, they gave a full blood panel and ecg and found no evidence of Carditis which was my main concern given Lyme. They also found nothing else unusual although couldn't comment on the ECG other than to say it was probably SVT. I will be seeing my GP on Wed.
I had this episode after taking omeprazole for a few days (which can also cause palpitations/tachycardias) and I'm on 400mg Doxycyline/day, 50mg Sertraline and 30mg propranolol.
