Other causes are diabetes and hypothyroidism. Electrolyte imbalance too can cause nausea. IBS, gluten or lactose intolerance, parasites in gut too can be the cause. A stool test should be done for worms, giardiasis etc. Also if nothing is found then food challenge test to detect food intolerance should be done. If Omeprazole and antacids do not help, go to a walk in clinic and consult a doctor there. Take care!
I am a 35 year old woman. I have dealt with "skipped heartbeats" occasionally since I was about 20. But the last week has been HORRIBLE! It's so bad at night that I can't sleep, convinced I'm gonna die. I also have major shortness of breath. Went to the doctor yesterday and mentioned I've been taking a lot of potassium lately "for my health" she said I was killing myself! Apparently potassium can increase dis/arrhythmia if you're already prone to them.

Firstly, I am worried that I am low on electrolytes which is apparently quite serious but am not sure if it is bad enough to actually do anything about it. Two obvious reasons for an electrolyte imbalance are that I exercise quite a lot and don't drink much water, also I abuse laxatives.

In all probability you have severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. This can persist for days. Take something to replenish the salts like the oral rehydration solution. Eat at short intervals and take some rest.
Since you need to travel consult a doctor to. You may need some treatment for acidity as well as this can make nausea persist. Not eating for so long and exercising can be really hard on the body.

Sometimes muscle spasms and cramps are cause by an electrolyte imbalance (such as a low magnesium, potassium, or sodium level). Dehydration can also cause muscle cramping, etc. If you don't think that you are dehydrated then I suggest you see your primary care doctor and have some blood work done and a physical to see if you have an electrolyte imbalance. I would start with this and see if you can find a cause with your primary care physician. Hope this helps. Good luck.

At times adhesions formed post surgery cause sub acute intestinal obstruction and this could also be a serious cause. Electrolyte imbalance is another possibility. Take care!
The electrolyte imbalance would need to be in close proximity chronologically to the palpitations. I'm no doctor but I find it unlikely that there is a tie between a past history of bulimia and a current bout with arrhythmia. More likely is you are just getting older, making you more likely to have the various benign arrhythmia that are available.
To give you an analogy, bulimia might be similar to withholding gasoline from your car.
