Question
Hello Doctor! I am 20 years old. Recently, I have noticed my heart rate suddenly increasing, often reaching 100-110 beats per minute, as I can see from my Apple Watch. I often experience hand tremors, irregular heartbeats, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Can you tell me what causes increased heart rate and hand tremors in people with gastroesophageal reflux disease? Thank you!

Answer
Hello! For the question “What causes increased heart rate and hand tremors in people with gastroesophageal reflux disease?”, I advise you to see a cardiologist for clinical tests, electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and thyroid hormone tests (rapid heart rate accompanied by hand tremors may be due to hyperthyroidism - Basedow's disease).
These symptoms are not caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, if you have been diagnosed with GERD by a gastroenterologist, you should adhere to the prescribed medication and dosage to avoid future complications. You can visit any hospitals in the Vinmec Health System for further consultation from a doctor.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec. Sincerely!
