Effect of Proton Pump Inhibitors on Palpitations

Summary

Palpitation is a common complaint. Patients frequently feel this symptom despite having normal rhythm during symptoms. I have seen many patients who improve significantly on treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPI). It may be that gastritis provokes a feeling of discomfort that subsequently starts the feeling of palpitation. On searching literature I found no study that investigated the effect of PPI's on palpitations. Therefore I propose a study where the investigators randomize people with palpitations with normal heart rate (no arrhythmia) and no apparent cause such as anxiety or clear illness to receive either PPI or placebo. The result will help to investigate if the improvement is true and if the results are positive this can provide a simple treatment for a common problem.
