Hi @jenn54 and welcome. As you will see, I have added your discussion to an ongoing discussion with similar symptoms and medications taken. While I am not suggesting that POTS is your diagnosis, there are many members in this discussion that can speak to the effectiveness of the medication propranolol. When did you start having the "butterfly" sensations in your stomach, along with clenching and tightening?

Hello and thank you for the welcome. I started experiencing the sensations about 7 years ago, and at the time chalked it up to menopause. It continued, and my GI recommended an endoscopy that was clear, but she put me on omeprazole for three months which helped immediately; sensations gone. Fast forward two years later I started experiencing chest pain, heart was ruled out so I had another endo which revealed 1cm Barrett's esophagus. I've been taking the omeprazole since. I had a repeat endo January 2019 and the biopsy results were negative for BE, though my GI said he could visualize it. I have an appt. scheduled with an EP the end of August as when I feel these belly sensations, I also feel a pause in my pulse. Thanks for replying.
