The connection between the heart, the stomach and the vagus nerve

In this video, I speak with a gastroenterologist, Dr Simon Smale who is also CEO of more than Just Medicine about how the stomach and the heart are related and how stomach issues can mimic or cause heart issues such as palpitations and chest pain

So true. Cardiologists and stomach doctors look at me like I’m nuts. Yet my stomach causes my skipped heart beat.

[@fireskybalin5107]

Wow! I went to the ER, here is the US, with persistent heart palpitations. I have had gastro issues for the last few years. It seemed odd that it felt like it was starting in my stomach and burping up to my heart and every time it did I experienced a skipped a beat. When I tried to explain this to the ER doc he looked at my like I was totally wacked.

[@binathere2574]

Yeah, unfortunately no point in talking to emergency doctors. I've learned that. One doctor told me I had a bite, which was probably bed bugs (insulting) I said I had had vein treatment recently and thought it might be a blood clot she said no it's definitely a bite. I went to the vein specialist who did my leg who then confirmed it was a clot and proceeded to drain it for me. Fortunately it was a surface, vein not very deep.

I went through a stressful time with my diabetic daughter a few years ago. Every time I ate my stomach was making knocking feelings and my heart kept missing beats. My GP didn't understand what I was going through. I lived on soft cereal. I researched the Vagus nerve to no end. I believe the stomach and heart are connected. My blood pressure went so high as well. It took a year for my stomach to calm down. The more I stressed the worse it got. If I get those feelings now I know what is it is so it doesn't get worse. I had to take a tranquilizer and am now addicted. It keeps me calm. I have had a very stressful life. I didn't want to take meds but had no choice. I have also been type 2 diabetic for 2 and a half years and have Pernicious anaemia. I have to have monthly B12 injections. Two weeks ago I had an iron infusion. I have also been taking thyroid meds for more than 30 years. I wish the best to everyone from a million miles away in South Africa. xxx❤

[@nishithakaveramma6822]

Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve been to the ER many times in the past due to severe acidity issues which would cause heart palpitations and chest tightness and ofc, all that would go away once the stomach bloating reduces when I’m put on IV for pantop 40 to bring down the acidity. And this happens every-time I feel gassy. More than the feeling of indigestion and bloating, the worst feeling is your heart palpitating and beating very fast causing feelings of anxiety and wondering what’s going on because no doctor out there has made the effort to explain why your body is behaving the way it is. I also get this weird twitching sort of a feeling on my legs and hands when this happens but goes away on its own when I burp out all the gas. I had to figure this out on my own because no one explained this issue to me. I’m glad there are doctors like you out there who care about such issues. Thank you!

[@mr.joiner3874]

I have heart palpitations and stomach problems and they both started around the same time...been like this for 17 years now.... I do believe stress and life style plays a big part in these problems and change helps but it's never goes away or at least not for me.... I've noticed when I have the stomach issues that stimulating the vagus nerve by rubbing my stomach from my upper abdomen down to my lower abdomen helps....and people that are having bad palpitations when they go to lay down I've noticed over the years that if I lay down very slowly to the lay down position I don't have as bad of palpitations.... Also this could help but I also have noticed that taking magnesium has helped a lot with not having as many heat palpitations... At one point in my life my heart was skipping every two to four beats for almost a year straight and it was really scary but once I started taking the magnesium it seemed to help alot if you do take the magnesium give it a week to see if it helps you don't have to take it in large dose just look up magnesium and how it helps with the heart beat

I have experienced the same thing. I also don’t have a gallbladder and feel that has added to the problem. I have started a few months back taking magnesium bisglycinate by Bio Schwartz they are small capsules and very gentle on the stomach. One in the morning and two with my dinner. I believe they help. Once I hit sixty it seems there’s always something to deal with. I eat good meals, usually once a day, vitamins, walk, no medicines but LOTS of stress (primarily from others)😞

[@thananarayanan4583]

Thank you to both doctors. More than 10 years ago, I was investigated for irregular heart beat. Halter monitor, stress test etc. Irregular heart rate was confirmed but the heart specialist said nothing about the connection to the stomach.I was having indigestion at the time. The GP prescribed something for reflux and the irregular heart rate disappeared before long..The vagus nerve connection was not mentioned by the cardiac specialist at all but I concluded that must have been it when the palpitations and irregular heart rate stopped.

Oh wow just watched this. This approach to medical care is an absolute dream! I love ot. It just makes so much more sense than what we have now. A collaborative, holistic approach that centres the patient whilst treating them as part of the team. I would love this approach so much. It's very much needed. I wish it could also be used in other areas of the NHS too, but I guess costs would be an issue. Still as someone with a complex chronic illness (ME/CFS) that has also accumulated other thing's along the way (as you often do with chronic illness), boy do I wish that some of my medical care had been better coordinated, more cooperative, and more on board with me myself as a knowledgeable, active participant in that care. It would have solved a great many issues, an awful lot sooner! Right now I'm always having to persuade a dozen different people that I do know my own condition very well, and that there are in fact implication on tests and other medical conditions that are meant to be taken into account, and even something as simple as an iron deficiency takes 6 months to get diagnosed with because of this. Joined up thinking would be Very beneficial wherever it can be achieved!

Love your videos. I had written to you before, because right after gall bladder surgery, at 27 years old.. I began to have serious breathing issues during sleep. Doctors said it was nerves, but I continued to research, and later, ask more questions, and more research. That is when I was introduced to the vagus nerve. I asked a gastro doctor, if he thought my issues were related to the vagus nerve. He sad he did not think so. I am 76 now, and I developed apnea, which caused A fib, which is what I am being monitored for now. Thank God I had two episodes of palpitations while on the monitor, so I can sit my doctor down, and tell him that I BELIEVE the vagus nerve may be injured, or weak or hyper, and these palpitations have plagued me for years. I had read, in a medical journal that "if a person has had open abdominal surgery, they will likely have respiratory issues." Finally, I may have the answer. I am looking forward to more on this fascinating vagus nerve, and how to whip it into shape.

I have been suffering with these bloody things for 16 years since the birth of my daughter (which was emergency c-section). I have had tests, echo, ECG etc. On one occasion, I was hooked up to an ECG and I felt a "run" of palps - they are horrible and always take my breath away and send me into a full blown panic. I instantly told the medic and he said, much to my surprise, "Nope...nothing showing. Heart rate totally normal." THEN, a few minutes later, he registered an ectopic beat, but I didn't even feel that. Afterwards, I had a lot of trapped air releasing from the stomach/esophagus and I was certain that the "flutters" I was experiencing was not, in fact my heart, but originating from stomach/esophageal area.

I've had tachycardia for years which started with a hit by a line drive baseball to my forehead. I learned at that time, which was a long time ago, the tachycardia or a-fib was caused by my vagus nerve. This was 1990's when not many knew about the vagus nerve dysfunction causing palpitations or a-fib. I was 30 when that happened. I am now 74 years old and still have the palpitations, which can get worse with stress. There's a lot more to the story but let me just say at one point I knew more than my endocrinologist because I have a high thyroid or Graves Disease when he was trying to treat me with beta blockers which the palpitations much worse. He didn't believe me when I told him if you have a vagus nerve dysfunction causing the palpitations beta blockers made it worse. There are all kinds of vagus exercises that stop the heart from going crazy, especially after food. It sounds like now news it out, finally. The vagus nerve or Cranium nerve 10 meanders down past the ear and down into the heart, and then into the stomach where it goes all over the stomach.

I have been having stomach problems (diarrhoea and bad cramps) for a couple of years (possibly related to IBS) which leads to fainting, and this happens during/after social events, sometimes after drinking a few drinks of alcohol. I also have very bad bloating when I eat and drink. After many tests on my stomach, blood tests, ECGs, blood pressure tests and a colonoscopy which were all clear I'm now thinking it may be linked to anxiety and the vagus nerve. I have never considered myself to be an anxious person but the fact it happens at big events like weddings and big parties it leads me to think it could be. I need my life back! Help! :-)

Possibly the party food as well causing problems.
