What Causes Heart Palpitations, Shortness Of Breath, Exhaustion With GERD?

Hi. Over the past month or so, any time I turn over to the other side in while in bed, my heart beats quickly, and I feel as though I just got finished running in a race; I have that exhausted feeling without the hard breathing. Also throughout the day, I have a shortness of breath and feel exhausted when doing anything like the laundry, making the bed, or cleaning. I have to sit down for about 10-15 minutes to rest. I also have GERD. I had an EKG, and that came back normal. I currently take 40 mg of Prilosec, and 100 mg of Zoloft. All of my bloodwork came back normal: WBC count RBC count, cholesterol, etc. I am scheduled to have a stress test, but I was wondering if it could be something else? Thank you!

Hi,

You may be suffering from periodic arrhythmia which may be aggravated by postural changes or with caffeinated drugs or alcohol consumption. Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol, avoid smoking.

You need to consult your Cardiologist as early as possible he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
