Can Heart Palpitation Be Related To Ulcerative Colitis?

I am a 46 year old woman. 5 8 and 185#. I am pretty healthy outside of my bouts of Ulcerative Colitis. I am not having any UC symptoms right now but am having heart palpitations. I have been having them for a few days now. I was checking my pulse while having them and noticed my heart is actually skipping a beat. Wierd thing is I have it more severely after I eat and it seems like it is relieved a bit if I force myself to burp. I also have some pain in what seems like my stomach. Are these two things related?

Hi,

This is probably gastritis and acidity problem. For that you should avoid spicy and fatty foods. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. Also maintain sleep habits regular and also do regular exercises. Have some walk after meals instead of taking rest immediately. You can take acid suppressant like tab Pantoprazole. You should also get hemoglobin tested and one ECG done. Depending upon the ECG result further test can be advised.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
