IS palpitation related to acid reflux?

Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a condition in which the contents of the stomach flow back into the esophagus. This can cause a burning sensation, pain, and difficulty swallowing. Palpitations, on the other hand, are a sensation of the heart racing, pounding, or skipping beats.

While acid reflux and palpitations can sometimes occur together, they are not directly related. Acid reflux can sometimes cause chest pain, which may be mistaken for palpitations. However, true palpitations are caused by a problem with the heart's electrical system, and are not related to acid reflux.

If you are experiencing palpitations, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying heart conditions.
