@runningwolf1957, I think @colleenyoung has made the best first suggestion: Speak to a cardiologist AND a GI specialist about this. Can your palpitations be described as "skipped heart beats" or as rapid, beating pulse? The difference is important. With a better understanding of your situation, I might be able to tell you about similar experiences I have had, but in the end, I will recommend that -- whatever I can say as a patient and layman -- your best advice will come from doctors who are medical specialists in the conditions you are experiencing. I'll be watching this discussion to see whether you are getting your problem under control. I wish you well in that.
