What Causes Heart Palpations At Night?

I am having heart palpations and they seem to start at night it has been going on for about two weeks. I am trying to figure out if it is something serious or maybe gas causing them, I seem to have a lot of gas. I am on nexium even though I never really had reflux.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. If other physical conditions are stable, the palpitations could easily be described as anxiety symptom. Anxiety happens because of your obsession regarding your health. You are worried about your health. Obsessed. Apprehension and anxiety follows. gas develops and chest tightens. When chest tightens, you feel palpitation. Anxiety increases and more gas develops. This is a cycle.

You have to understand the anxiety and obsession. Believe what your doctor had said and be satisfied. Medications to treat acid reflex is good. More than that, calm mind is the key. Learn to meditate or breath. I suggest you to consult a psychologist for anxiety related psychotherapy.
