I'm dealing with a lot of hyper acidity, and I've noticed I occasionally get palpitations. All my tests like blood work, ECG, and Echo are normal, but these palpitations have me worried. Is it possible that my acid reflux is causing these palpitations?

I'm wondering about the normal range for pus cells and epithelial cells in a stool test. Also, if the stool test shows its reactive to acidic, is that something I should be worried about?

In a stool test, the normal range of pus cells is typically less than 5 cells per high power field (HPF), and the normal range of epithelial cells is usually less than 10-20 cells per HPF. If the stool is reactive to acid, it may indicate a potential concern such as malabsorption or infection.
