Could On And Off Rapid Heart Rate With Bloating Indicate Gastro Disorder?

Yes...please! I have been experiencing rapid heart rate at various times. Have been to a cardiologist regarding this...they had me wear a heart monitor for two weeks, but I did not have the rapid heart rate the whole time while wearing the monitor! Today it just happened again after eating a meal out at a restaurant. My wife and I began putting two and two together, and realized my last bad episode of this was after eating out. Also, it sometimes happens at home after eating. My BP is not elevated during these episodes, but I do feel very full and bloated even though I had not over indulged. Is this connected to a reflux or gastro disorder? I go back to the Dr. in about 3 weeks and will start to keep a log of when it happens. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having gastritis.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid mental and emotional stress.
4.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
5.Avoid gas producing foods like peas, cabbage, legumes, etc.
6.Drink lots of water daily.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
