I would say that does sound like it, I have GERD but for some reason the GI specialists I've worked with have been unable to tell me why I might have heart palpitations. If they are an actual symptom of GERD and those people were just oblivious to that fact, and I didn't get the information I needed as a result, then that's just BS. Hopefully the heart palpitations can be explained by it for both of us. Also, it doesn't always need to be triggered by food. I just have chronic symptoms all the time, sometimes certain actions can worsen it like lying down or moving too much after eating, but it's pretty much constant no matter what. Like chronic pain, symptoms fluctuate but may never fully stop. I wish him good luck for getting a diagnosis and treatment.
