Heart palpitations
Hello doctor, i have hiatus hernia. And i was on medications as well. But i always have GERD like feeling in my chest. Sometimes it reduces, sometime increased. The doctor also gave me some anxiety medicine as from past few weeks I'm having a lot of anxiety attacks. I want to ask last night when i almost fell asleep i suddenly woke up feeling that my heart is racing and little of anxiety. I tried falling asleep again but little anxiety did not let me sleep and a little palpitations were there, not too much but something different. Also there was no chest pain or breathing issue. It took me 10-15 mins to go to sleep again. I got my ecg done 3 months ago and everything was normal and perfectly fine. I want to know if there is something wrong with my heart , shall i worry or its just because of anxiety and GERD

Just by symptoms it cannot be told directly if heart is ok or not. Advice do an ecg or 2d echo. And regarding anxiety kindly mention the drug/brand. Anti anxiety drugs overdose can cause palpitations. So kindly do the above tests to help doctors diagnose properly

Your symptoms are more likely due to anxiety and existing GERD which could be more symptomatic at times.
However i suggest you to get a baseline ECG just to compare with the ECG done 3 months ago
Next Steps
continue your treatment and follow GERD symptoms protocol
