I get heartburn and indegestion and i seem to suffer with some sort of gastric problem, but would never have the nerve to be tested! Lol.
My ectopics were definately better when i was on Omeprazole for a few months, that really calmed them down some.
I do think that people with anxiety suffer with gastric problems anyway as we are so sensitive to things that normally wouldn't bother us and because our stomach makes a lot of acid because of the anxiety - another vicious circle.x

i get them really bad after a meal and they last for 2-3 hours ,doctors suggested to have smaller meals through out the day also if you go a long time without food then have a large meal in the evening ,OMG major ectopics .

Me too!

I don't get more ectopics with meals, but in periods with reflux I tend to get more ectopics. And in same period I get a fast heart rate after meals though....

Is this a proven thing that ectopics can be cause by indigestion because I have suspected this before but never asked?
