Hi Doctor XXXXXX, I am 60 years old. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and mild diabetes . I have been suffering from heart arrhythmia for the past 12 years. Recently, I have been suffering from more frequent cases of arrhythmia. Also whenever I have an acidic stomach, my arrhythmia comes back and last for the duration of the digestion . I don t take any medication for my acidic stomach. I would like to know if my acidic stomach and heart arrhythmia are related.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
'Acidic stomach and heart arrhythmia' - the two are unlikely to be related.
both may be the result of drugs, anxiety and so on.
They need investigations individually - Holter monitoring, electrolytes for heart beats / endoscopy for acidity / ... and so on
Also, they need different treatments.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
