  • 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 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!

      Really! My cardiologist never has spent more than 5 minutes with me in an office appointment! I started going into A-Fib from eating different food, so for 2 yrs he did all kinds of workups on me. Finally he said that he would have to ABLATE MY HEART MUSCLES! Are you kidding? I asked him if my issue could be HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE or a MAST CELL DISORDER? He thought for a moment and then said, "Yes." And he turned around and walked out. He knew that I had DIED FROM ANAPHYLAXIS 35 yrs ago and had to be resuscitated. He knew that I was going into A-Fib after eating many different foods, yet he couldn't put it together? Is he only interested in doing surgery to make money? I think it's time to find myself another cardiologist who actually communicates with patients.

      The bad news: NO mitigating products for salicylates like DAO for histamine, and, it's in nearly all fresh plants and dried plants and herbs.
      This has been THE game changer for me. Especially when I read that Essential Oils are high salicylates! Now I know exactly how and why I'm triggering AFib so much. Hallelujah!

Try massaging your gut in a clock wise circle, gently snd slowly, and it will gently help move the gasses along so they can be expelled. Find the massage techniques here on youtube. Stomach massage.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Now I am at 8,200 ft. elevation and I think that the elevation is bringing on more episodes and more ocular migraines. I have learned how to try to stop the racing once it starts with ice and holding my nose and blowing.

Hold until you need to take a breath. Then release and sit up slowly. It works very well for me for skipped beats. But when my heart is pounding hard it doesn't work as well so I've been taking cold showers. And meditating a lot and breathing exercises.

      hi how are you doing? my gerd also causes me a hell lot of problems n I've got the idea (maybe it's called intuition bc it's my body) that the PVCs or chest discomfort/pain is related to it, because my ECG+echo+stress test whatever was normal. Finally the A&E doctors told me that it could be caused by indigestion, so it's quite normal. sometimes it's when I exercise, or when hormonal i.e. around my luteal phase/pre-period, so at this point I just accept it's my heart that's a bit sensitive towards this thing but it's controlled by my behaviour and awareness.

    your videos are excellent...I.was admitted to A&E yesterday, sudden onset of SOB, chest pain , irregular tachy, palpitations, BP 220/120 (I have known hypertension and am currently being treated with losartan and diltiazem) ...ECG normal, bloods normal ...asked consultant if it could be gastric related, he said no, I told him I had been having a bloated stomach , flutterings for the past week or so....I am a nurse, was at work when this happened, he told me it was likely the stress of my job....so tired of hearing this , yes , this job is stressful but I've been doing it for a long time! they did not do a chest x-ray...I suspect it could be related to various other conditions such vagus stimulation, hiatus hernia, etc etc but was firmly told no ....thank you for your research and for listening to your patients!

      @@aydentheninja877 I know for certainty that my AFib episodes are caused by my vagus nerve over-reacting. Can actually feel the pulse beating very hard and irregular deep with-in my abdomen, directly beneath where my rib-cage comes together. Right before an AFib episode I will usually feel nauseated and like I have a nervous stomach. Very jumpy and with an overall uncomfortable feeling.
      And I have found that pressing down hard with my finger-tips on the vagus nerve several times, that I am able to STOP the AFib in its tracks after only a very few minutes!!😉 What a Relief!

      I was just tested positive for gastritis with similar symptoms to you. It’s possible in your situation that an inflammation is pressing on the vagus nerve. Book an appointment with a gastroenterologist to rule this out. In my situation, I had a consistent sore neck and after getting a cervical MRI, it showed a large mess with bulging discs pushing on nerves. This is causing every issue I have I suspect, rather then the gastritis itself causing the problems.

    YES, THIS IS THE BEST EXPLANATION I'VE HEARD. THANK YOU DR. GUPTA. THIS EXPLAINS WHY MY HEART FLUTTERS WHEN I LEAN BACK IN A SEMI RECLINING CHAIR. IT IS BECAUSE MY STOMACH IS PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE VAGUS NERVE CAUSING A LOWER HEART RATE THUS ALLOWING FLUTTER SYMPTOMS TO OCCUR. NOT A DOCTOR HERE BUT THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO ME. SIMILARILY WHEN I LIE DOWN ON MY STOMACH THE FLUTTERING SEEMS TO STOP.

      I saw a cardiologist when I was pregnant last year and he looked at me and thought I was a nutcase. He did not listen to me at all when I said I was having heart palpitations. Found out later that I was having a hiatal hernia and so I start getting adjusted by a chiropractor and my palpitations went away. But unfortunately my palpitations came back this week but I have not been consistent with going to the chiropractor, so I’m hoping that’s why and then I can get fixed again. They are so scary

      One more thing, - my cardiologist prescribed Dicyclomine which helps immensely, when I feel the vagus nerve misfiring as because it settles my gut down, it then seems to help my heart etc etc.

    I have had terrible dietary habits for almost a decade. Suddenly I started feeling episodic shocks/thuds in the breathing. These would be triggered by 1) spicy food 2) large meals 3) crouched posture 4) stress ... Upon visiting s cardiologist, I discovered I've also been suffering from HCM and his entire focus went that way. However, I'm convinced today that the weakened performance of the vagus nerve is the core cause behind my increased heart rate, belching, and episodic (terrifying) attacks of heartbeat skip/fluttering. Thank You for this video. I completely understand the science behind this. Could you please help us understand how we can enhance the performance of the vagus nerve?

    I’m waiting to hear from my cardiologist after a 2 week monitor. I was told I had bradycardia in the hospital and might need a pacemaker maker. I waited 7 months to get a cardiologist as there were no appointments open. Then went to a procedure and was told I went into a right bundle branch block. Then I was having so many palpitations and chest pressure I went to the ER. Then I was in the hospital and told I had a run of ventricular tachycardia. I have gastroperesis and a NAFL. My abdominal area gets swollen. Wow that’s a great talk. You are so good and simplifying things. I have a little ekg device and I noticed during some palpitations I was having a regular beat and a pac. They would be in runs for a long time. Like hours. Like I said I was put on a heart monitor and finally have an appointment with the cardiologist. Hope they have some answers for me. Thank You for your information!

    I'm amazed because I've had SVT for years and not one of my drs have ever mentioned this. I am diabetic with nerve damage in both feet, and Charcot in my left. I'm on a liver transplant list for PBC and perhaps this nerve is contributing to these and other symptoms I'm having...including depression, hypertension, osteoporosis, the brain fog and memory loss. I'm only 60 years old and confused as to why my body is in this tailspin!
