Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
The increase in heart rate , nervousness and headache that you are getting are most probably due to GERD itself.
In few people Sucralfate (Acilfate) can cause these symptoms.
In case you developed these symptoms following start of these medications, then they might be because of Acilfate otherwise, they are related to GERD.
There is a strong co-relation between, GERD and Anxiety, causing these symptoms.
I advice following to my patients of GERD:
1. To take Domperidone aling with Rekool (Rabeprazole) in order to reduce the reflux.
2. To take soft and bland diet
3. Walk after all meals.
4. To avoid pain killers, alcohol and smoking in case you consume.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
