New here, have a question

My son (34yrs) is having problems with his stomach, he went for a scope Friday and the dr told him he wasn't empting out his stomach plus he had acid reflux along with this. Now for the past month he is having a racing heart with pain, after many tests his heart doctor can not find anything wrong with his heart. Everything came back normal plus his blood work is normal including his sugar. He as lost weight and now is getting very stressed out about the racing heart. The Gastro dr prescribed a med for his acid reflux and told him watch his diet. I am not satisfy with the answer to his stomach problem and told my son to get a second opinion. So far the med that he is on is not helping him at all. He has another appointment with a different Gastro dr at the end of the month, the only day the doctor has open.


The racing heart and stomach acid reflux seems to go hand in hand, maybe one starts the other off I don't know, but I just hate to see him go through this. He was a bodybuilder and now he is getting down to nothing. Plus he is getting depressed and now the heart doctor has him on meds for that.


Anyone ever hear of this?


TIA

Hi Wren, thanks for the tip on acid reflux, since I have that problem also I'm going to try this. Do you take this on an empty stomach?


My son now is in the hospital and they are running more tests on him, he was dizzy and almost blacked out at work. He also has another appointment with another gastro doctor Tuesday so maybe they will call him in now while Jamie is there. I will let you know what they find.


Thanks
