I had palpitations last year around the time i was diagnosed with Gerd, It can feel like a heart attack because of the acid reflux and i just didn't know what was going on, i ate really well (potatos, beans, and ground turkey / chicken, cut out sugary drinks/carbonated, as well as caffeine) and i didn't feel the palpitations for a good 4 months A subreddit for people with the condition know as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). hou jslv djuh zbhc vbwgeb dihw monid kigy ateycu vorjl
