Hello
Thanks for the query
Acid reflux can cause heart palpitations but the other common causes are
1. Thyroid dysfunction
2. Anxiety
3. Smoking
4. Rhythm disturbance of the heart
I recommend that you take pantoprazole with domperidone instead of plain pantoprzole. It can be taken not more than twice a day.
I also suggest
1. To eat regularly and on time
2. Do not skip meals
3. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, smoking
4. Avoid milk and milk products
5. Do not sleep for atleast 2 hours post dinner
6. Smaller meals , 4-5 times a day is better than 3 large meals
7. Avoid bending exercises
