PVC’s & Acid Reflux

Premature Ventricular Complexes (or PVC’s) & acid reflux may go hand in hand for some people. PVC’s have had a long and mysterious history. At one time they were thought to be the precursor for impending death, and more recently are thought to simply be a benign phenomenon.

PVC’s happen when an electrical disturbance in one of the heart’s ventricles causes it to contract. Sometimes this can be felt as a palpitation, or feeling like your heart skipped a beat. Most often though, it’s not felt at all. This condition is generally a cause for concern if heart disease is present, as it can aggravate certain conditions and cause various complications. However, if no heart disease is found PVC’s are not something most doctors worry about.

Acid reflux can be caused by any number of things including daily habits, smoking, certain foods, tight clothing and stress. It happens when too much acid builds in the stomach and is allowed into the esophagus. This causes irritation and pain. It can also cause belching, hiccups and a general feeling of indigestion.

Some sufferers of acid reflux are finding their PVC’s happen more frequently during an acid reflux attack. This could be a result of pressure building up in the stomach, but it’s difficult to say for sure without more studies being conducted.

Get it under control

If you suffer from both of these conditions, and particularly notice an influx of PVC’s during an episode of acid reflux, try getting your reflux under control. There are a number of things you can do once reflux has started to help alleviate it.
