Cardiac Ablation and Heartburn

galsue posted:

On August 24, 2010, I had a cardiac ablation performed for Ventricular Tachachardia (RVOT). I do still experience some minor palpitations which I presume will go away with time (it's only been three weeks since surgery). The only think I'm experiencing now is persistent heartburn. I'm wondering if this is a normal thing that will go away in time. I saw my cardiologist today and he says to give it a couple of weeks and if it's not better, try Prilosec OTC. Has anyone else experienced this? (By the way, my heart is healthy, pumps as it should and there is no disease.....my blood pressure and pulse are in the normal range).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
