Palpitations and the vagus nerve

In this video, i discuss in an easy to understand way, the role of the vagus nerve on heart palpitations and in particular the roemheld syndrome that links the stomach and the heart and is one of the reasons why gastric problems can cause heart palpitations

I wish all doctors could talk to their patients like this

I can’t believe so many Doctors have not made this connection. I have gone to my primary, Gastroenterologist and cardiologist and they look at me as if I’m crazy. Two of them have been in practice at least 25 years. It has been a frustrating journey. Thank goodness for Doctors like you, Dr Gupta!

Who’s watching this video in 2020? God Bless Dr. Gupta

I went through this when I left my abusive ex husband. I didn’t know what was going on with me, tight neck, shoulders hair falling out rashes, nose bleeds, bloated stomach, I also had a heart scan as I was having ectopic beats. My nerves were shot and I was living in fear. No one is worth your health when you get to this point your with the wrong person.

I have health anxiety, so my PVCs really scared me, which obviously made them worse.. I noticed them more when I am stressed, worried or anxious.
Had echocardiogram and stress test, all came back completely normal.
My PVCs didn't occur during this test.
I fast every morning for4 hours, and have a black coffee and water during my fast.
My PVCs only begin once I begin eating.
And then subside after an hour or so after I finish eating.
I also notice in the evening after my dinner if I drink water it will speed my heart rate while I am drinking, then slow down..this used to freak me TFO.. but after watching this I am almost completely at peace.. thanks mate.

I knew it!! For years now I swear that when I have stomach issues I have more skipped fluttery heart beats. I knew there was a connection! Thank you so much doctor for this explanation!

[peggym.tjonatai]

You are the best cardiologist ever. Never have i ever received an explanation for any heart related problems i tell my cardiologist. Thank you so much for taking time to do this for us❤

When I was about 20 I started experiencing pac's and pvc's, which were completely foreign to me and I thought I was going to die, which gave me a massive anxiety and panic disorder which made them MUCH worse. It was really horrible. Lesson learned: Don't be afraid to just go to a good doctor. I was convinced that if I did, they would discover some awful problem with my heart. It would have done me a lot of good and saved several years of completely wasted opportunities if I had known what these things are, and that the vast majority of the time they are nothing to be worried about.

I LOVE this guy!!! He's SO smart and teaches so well!

[vanselmi]

I’ve only asked a half a dozen physicians about this phenomenon and none seemed to know anything! So you’re quite brilliant not only to know this but to explain this in layman’s terms! And I want to thank you so very much for pointing me in the right direction to getting answers for my palpitations!

[Ski]

If I ever get heart problems. I’m going to have to move to York... you’re such a nice Cardiac consultant. X😊👏💐🙏🏼🤗

[georgisillifant]

Thank you so much. Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about.

You have helped me more than you will ever know. Late 2018 I began to experience debilitating Vertigo. Following the on start of Vertigo, I began to have panic which caused palpitations. Prior to the Vertigo, I was experiencing chronic problems with upper respiratory. My ears have always been a focal point in my life. Naturally, my GP wanted to rule out mini strokes. I forced myself to go to GP during the tail end of a Vertigo attack. I had noticed my heart was extremely irritated and racing. My doctor suspected Ventricular Tachycardia. The monitor proved his concern valid. I went through the cardio testing. My heart structure not impaired. However I was placed on Beta Blocker. At this stage, I began to think about the Central Nervous System and watch your videos religiously. In September of 2019, I found an ENT who had me tested for allergies. I am severely allergic to just about every indoor/outdoor allergen. I was also tested for Immunoglobulin. My IGG2 very low and IGG4 boarder line. I decided to stimulate Vegas Nerve and do lymphatic drainage. For the last three months, I have not had an arrhythmia and no longer take Beta Blocker. I also receive two allergy shots per week and take s number of meds to relieve my symptoms. I haven't had the Vertigo. However, I do experience dizziness and postural BP. In both cases, I can manage problems. I thank you for activating a mindfulness that my heart rate could be stabilized. You have a very calming voice.

I love the way you have explained this ...I've had palpitations all my life and extreme anxiety

[suzannebrown]

Had my heart transplant 26 years ago and I wish I could have learned some of this before. It is all so in depth and interwoven. Thank you for this explanation.

Finally, an excellent explanation that I never got from my cardiologist!
