Funny, I was just thinking about this last night, after making cookies -
and of course making sure they were "acceptable" (wouldn't want to bring
substandard cookies to work!) - shortly before going to bed. I had a
rapid heartbeat, and a feeling like I couldn't quite catch my breath,
causing me to breath deeply every couple of normal breaths. No normal
reflux symptoms though - cough, pain, whatever. I'm on a PPI.

I'm already on a beta-blocker for hbp, as well as tachachardya,
arrhythmia, and palpitations. Now I'm wondering how much of that might
have been reflux, as I was put on the bb years before I was diagnosed
with reflux - but I now know I had symptoms - mostly a cough, some of
the other non-obvious syptoms - for years before.

Weirdly, I get a noticible heart reaction after eating something
high-carb, like the popcorn I just finished. Is popcorn a reflux
trigger for some?
