Heartburn & Heart Palpitations

GERD can also cause chest pain because the acid inflames the esophagus and can lead to abnormal muscle contractions. This chest pain may feel very similar to the pain experienced in angina -- the pain felt by patients with coronary heart disease.
Although it does not cause heart palpitations directly, GERD-related chest pain may cause the patient to feel very anxious, and this may cause palpitations. Alternatively, a patient may actually be experiencing an attack of heart-related pain, or angina. In this situation, palpitations may be a direct result of a heart attack. Other symptoms that might indicate heart problems rather than GERD include nausea and shortness of breath.

It turned out to be inflamation of the sternum according to the doctor. He said the dizziness and other stuff was brought on by lack of sleep and stress.
