Can GERD Cause Heart Palpitations Or Tachycardia?
Tachycardia or palpitations are one of the occasional symptoms of GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). Along with heartburn and a sour taste in the mouth, people sometimes complain of palpitations and other cardio-vascular symptoms in combination with the acid reflux. Indeed, some people suffering from GERD complain of having a pain comparable to that of angina and other cardio-vascular disorders.
