Can Stomach Gas Cause Your Heart To Feel Like Its Skipping?

My heart for the last three days has been skipping ..Sometimes its about every 30th beat other times nothing. I have noticed that I have gas.. Im not sure why.. but stomach acid and gas...maybe pushing up against some nerve in there ,not just sure what its called but wondering if this could cause skipping.. ?

My heart has done this for many years off and on.. but its done it a lot in the last few days but I keep freaking out about taking my blood pressure. Believe me im not taking it because I want to but the doctor recommended that I take it during the week and call in the results because I ask to be put back on a lower med because I didn't believe I had high bp..

But I hate taking the bp pressure.. I don't want to and would like to throw it in the trash but I can't for now.. Im thinking maybe this nervousness is causing the skipping?

Hi

I get this alot. When I have stomach acid there is a sensation in my chest that my heart is sort of fluttering a little or skipping. I'm not actually sure if it is my heart or if having stomach acid/gas just mimics that sort of sensation. I just tend to ignore it because I dont want to go down the route of checking my heart all the time like I used to. Ignoring it seems to work for me....hope this helps a little:)

The bad thing now is.. well I have been ignoring it for over 30 years off and on.. Now im afraid of high blood pressure so it is starting to worry me . Thanks for your advise..I think that stomach acid can definitely cause this.. but I suppose I have lived with it this long maybe ill be ok.thanks again
