I was diagnosed with Gerd in August (thought I was having a heart attack and I am only 34!), started having heart flutters couple months ago. I have a multi nodular thyroid goiter (very small though, can't even see it) and thought that was what was causing my flutters, but was just thinking today that they get worse after I eat sometimes and especially when I am having reflux problems... I hate these flutters, they scare the crap out of me sometimes. Have the scope done, its not bad at all, they put you to sleep and you wake up a few minutes later when its done. I feel it is very important to have this done! I take toprol xl for the flutters which has helped a great deal.
