I read that the most common heartburn symptom is a sharp pain in your chest, but for me it always feel like my heart starts to beat irregularly. It used to trigger panic attacks for me.
(I don’t have arrhythmia, but I do have reflux.)

I experience this too – not heartburn, but weird heart-type feelings arising, we’re pretty sure, from acid reflux. I found out about the acid reflux from a throat scope I requested because I’d been more often having to chew food (particularly breads and meats) very ridiculously thoroughly to prevent it getting “stuck” and having to swallow water to force it down – which is REALLY uncomfortable when it fails, btw. That plus heart palpitations/anxiety symptoms, though every time I’d get a checkup or an EKG they’d go “yeah you’re strong as an ox.”
Pantoprazole has been a life changer in that regard – that plus regular cardio (I’d just been lifting before… why mess up gainz, I thought) to get the weight down.
