What Causes Pounding Heart While Exercising After Being Treated For GERD?

Hello, I am experiencing racing /pounding heart when I do any kind of exercise. It started occurring about a year ago. I had some tests done on my heart and they all came back normal. I had a stress test done in 2010 in the hospital because I was having chest pain and vomiting. The stress test came back normal. The chest pain and vomiting was severe GERD.

Dear I can understand your concern . One thing I want to make clear is that there is no relation of GERD or its treatment with pounding or racing of heart.
It's normal for everyone to get racing of heart with exercise . It is said to be abnormal only when it is inappropriate for the level of exercise .then we call it as palpitations .
It has many causes such as anaemia hypertension hyperthyroidism or any cardiac illness .
A complete history a day examination is required to reach the final diagnosis and management .
In my opinion you should consult your physician and discuss with him about your problems . Get your blood pressure checked .
Hope this will help.
