[@BaconIsNotBiceps]

"Back in the early 1900s, Ludwig von Roemheld coined the Roemheld Syndrome where he described a cluster of cardiovascular symptoms (think heart palpitations, tachycardia, dizziness, vertigo and elevated blood pressure) that were stimulated by gastrointestinal (gut) changes. The gut symptoms included gas, bloating, constipation, hiatal hernia and more. Roemheld explained how gut imbalance compresses the vagus nerve (your longest cranial nerve) slowing your heart. The slowed heart then stimulates the "fight or flight" part of your nervous system in order to prevent your heart rate from diminishing too much. The result is heart palpitations, sometimes elevated blood pressure and/or tachycardia. The patient's heart is fine. You may have experienced this after an ER visit where you have worried you were having a heart attack. But the heart is not diseased. It is worth noting that Roemheld lived in the early 1900s and today his Syndrome is considered obsolete, which is why your doctors give no credence to the association between gut imbalance and heart symptoms. Even more annoying is the direction to doctors stating that once the heart tests normal, the next step for the patient is a psych evaluation. If you've ever been told it's "all in your head", you now know why." Video, Dr. Vikki Petersen. - Heart Palpitations ARE a Stomach Issue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3rGi4eiiKyZgLMsi=U-2od9rj-c1bu7k8

VINDICATED! I have had palp's for months; knew of this connection through someone who figured it out himself, and figured out it was the same for me. Went to a cardiologist, and he told me there was NO connection between the stomach and heart, and told me to go on metoprolol. I refused, and started treating with Omeprozol. Got things under control, and have gotten off omeprozol with good diet and magnesium supplementation. The reason I am commenting is that there is one other position I have noticed that starts palp's... sitting hunched over (like at a desk), compressing the diaphragm against the stomach. I want to offer hope to those struggling with this, and say it CAN be worked on and helped! Thank you Dr. Gupta for this very clear, concise and timely message.

This video just cleared up a 5 year mystery for me! I have gone to the ER multiple times thinking I was having a heart attack, because my heart would just start pounding and would not stop. One time, the doctor sent me home with prescription Zantac and it made a huge difference, but no one could tell me why or help me understand how a medication for my stomach could help with my heart. I had also gone to multiple cardiologists, had tests, echos and even wore a monitor and they said my heart looked fine. Everything you just said explains so many things I have been experiencing!!!! Including why my heart pounding get worse when I lay on my side vs. my back. I’m going to check out more of your videos, I can’t believe I found an answer on KZbin at 3am after years of doctor and ER visits and everyone telling me they can’t find what’s causing my heart pounding.

Oh, me too, short trunk, long legs and slim build; I have often felt that there is little space in my frame and that that is why it is important for me to not put on weight because my internal organs don't have enough space then, with all the fatty tissue. So interesting to hear you say more or less the same... It all makes perfect sense, too, what you are saying and what Gupta is saying. I was luckier than you. When I was in my early twenties, I developed ventricular extrasystoles - often a sign of a heart that is a bit of a work horse. They were permanent; I had no normal beats. That could become too high a strain on the heart, or so I was told, so I was on two meds for a while. It got discovered by accident; I did not pay any attention to what my heart was doing in those days. I think I got those extrasystoles because I used to exercise a lot (all sorts of sports) and that had dropped away after I left secondary school and then was living a life with long and odd hours. However, after things got better, and we stopped one of the meds, I noticed that I only had the extrasystoles when I was lying down (and also predominantly when I was on my left side). Of course, the ECGs were always done with me lying on the table. I slowly took myself off the last med and on the next visit told my cardiologist what I had noticed and that I really did not need the meds any longer. He was quite surprised, asked me to stand up during the ECG and had to admit I was right. So mine was much a much better guy than yours; so sorry about yours. I was right in general, too. Say, once every decade or so, I have occasionally had extrasystoles but never anything even remotely as crazy again as back then. Thanks to that episode back then, I got into the automatic habit of checking my pulse, which is great because I am in my 60s now when such things can become more important. I know what's normal and what is off, for me. When something is off, my body is trying to tell me something, that I need to change something in my life. Our bodies are magical, the way they work.

Same here. I get problems always after I eat, usually get quite breathess. I find I can't lie on my back but lying on my tummy relieves symptoms almost immediately. I have a curvature of the spine anyway (lumbar region) and have also developed a "dowager's hump" which is now quite pronounced. Hiatus hernias also run in my family. My grandmother had one and my brother has it too. I suspect I also have one. I don't like or trust doctors (especially after the past two years) so stay away from them.

[@ninaspage]

Yes I have the same, this is so good to hear i'm not crazy because I had the same thought after feeling the heart going bananas if I ate to much. Sorry for spelling I am danish.

[@iseeulysses]

Me too - but eating a very low carb or carnivore diet really helps. Also, don't use antacids for reflux. I used to take several a night for years, until I discovered why most people get reflux. Your stomach acid is too high - it needs to be around 1.5-3ph. Battery acid has a 1ph!! Antacids make your stomach unable to adequately absorb vitamins and minerals. Also, certain "healthy" foods like broccoli and cabbage cause high hydrogen levels in some. I've stopped eating broccoli recently and the bloat has stopped!!!

[@TheForeheadOfDoom666]

Yup when I fixed my stomach my other"heart" issues got fixed. I never had heart problem while doing any strenuous exercise it only occurred when I was laying doing and my stomach was already bloated. Took a few months of eating good food and giving up "bad habits " to fix it

[@davespin9034]

Me too! Matches what I have been going through. Thank you! I am often awaken by my heart beating fast. I now get out of bed and walk around and belch to reduce bloating pressure. Eventually my heart rate goes back to normal. Palpitations and all.

[@lordofcrandahar]

I tried to tell my cardiologist that it seemed like when my stomach issues were bad, my palpitations were bad. He just said "well thats not really my area"

[@yellowbird5411]

I have found that talking to my heart and other body parts out loud can bring great relief. Our bodies are very intelligent and communicates with all the parts, all the time. It listens to us. It really does. So give it positive requests like, "Heart, resume normal rhythm," or "Hand, feel good." I ask my body, "Body, find energy, " and "Legs, be strong." I avoid words like "don't," "won't," "pain" or "weakness." Keep it positive, and praise your body parts for doing such a good job. Keep a log book so you can measure it's effectiveness, as I have found that this method works astoundingly well. I have even said, "Heart, resume normal rhythm and stay there." Use whatever phrases you need for your purposes, and use them as often as you need to. Speaking the words seems to work better than thinking the words.

A few years ago I had severe gastric issues, but most of my symptoms presented as heart/chest problems. I was referred to a cardiologist who found nothing wrong with my heart, so I suggested that perhaps my stomach issues were causing my heart palpitations. He said that was impossible. I remember sitting there thinking, how can they not be related when the heart and stomach are right next to each other?? His quick dismissal seemed so rudimentary. Why do doctors ignore connections? Is it arrogance? Not enough thinking outside the box? I really don't get it.

[@catherinecastle8576]

I get your frustration, I really do. The thing is, I think few perfectly normal brains actually ask "why?" ...meaning, the majority of doctors are no different than the majority population and they too are rarely willing to "look behind the curtains". Doctors appear God-like to us non medical people, but, all they have is extra medical information. Sadly, most of them don't understand what they've learned beyond repeating it like parrots - basically, they findcit had to connect dots. So, with this disinterest or unwillingness to ask why, or a desire to know more, like why is the patient suffering, there also comes a learned arrogance toward "know it all" patients and patients in general. Plus, Western medicine is quite masculine (Eastern is more feminine), and masculine logic is great for surgery and the science of medicine, but, masculine logic doesn't equate with feminine intuition, and intuition often makes breakthroughs that logic cannot. Further, even general practice (once known as the family) doctors know little more today about the patient than what the patient tells them, maybe some medical history (as written up by other equally disinterested doctors) and what they read as test results. Personally, I now see the typical GP doctor more as a Medical Receptionist who asks just enough standard questions in order to know what tests are required, what medication to prescribe, or to what specialist (including a psychiatrist, especially for women) to send the patient...other than that, the GP has little to no interest in their patient. It took me over ten years to get a doctor to give me an easy and cheap test for Hemochromatosis, because from my own research that diagnosis made the most sense. But, no...then, finally, a new doctor who agreed "something's not right!, got me tested and voila, I have Hemo and several phlebotomies later (about 3 a year now as maintenance), I'm feeling much better with not too much damage to my organs. Simple test. Cheap. But they wouldn't do it because I suggested it and they didn't. I'm really not cynical...just life experienced at 66..

Hi Dr. Gupta. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the information you've shared in your videos. Many of us suffering from palpitations can become obsessed with reading theories on the internet but with little satisfaction and little relief (even after our doctors tells us "Your fine, try to relax and forget about it. We're done here." Your explanations are a breath of fresh air. Your logical and clear information with references to actual research have gone a long way in easing my anxiety about my palps. Cutting out processed food, avoiding beer and fizzy drinks, eating smaller meals, and adopting a healthier approach to managing stress & anxiety has really helped. I don't think I was ever checked for a hiatus hernia but for me controlling bloating and inflammation, especially in the stomach, has been key I think. Again, I can't thank you enough.

[@kerryanne7126]

Gregory S Yep, I'm definitely tired of hearing "you just need to breath and relax to relieve your anxiety and stress" I've dealt with a psychiatrist and am on medication to deal with all that, I use medication and breathing. My palpitations appear same time most days around lunch and onwards; they are so bad sometimes to the point where I need to lie down as I'm so exhausted. But I've had my heart checked and Thyroid all that and nothing is showing up. I've cut out caffeine, I don't smoke or drink alcohol and I watch what I eat very healthily and I'm only 22. I have so many issues with heart burn and indigestion despite watching everything I eat and not totally filling my stomach or lying down after a meal. So if everything else is looked into and I'm doing what I've been told why do I still feel this way? I know that something is wrong but no doctors will find out for me they just give me tablets for indigestion which causes issues down stairs as I'm not able to digest food properly and everything is being fermented in my gut instead of digested in the stomach. So annoying!

Excellent explanation! There can be multiple related factors, e.g. eating too quickly and not chewing food sufficiently which then ferments in the stomach with gas production and bloating which in turn forces the stomach upwards as in a hiatus hernia. A friend of mine found that every time he visited Japan where he ate rice instead of white bread and potatoes, and meals were more leisurely, he had no reflux or palpitations at all - until he returned home!

Thank you for addressing this issue ! This confirms what I've always felt about heart palpitations and stomach! I didn't know it but I felt it was somehow linked! I appreciate your clearing it up for me! God bless you for being willing to share with us who are non-medical people!

Thank you, Dr. Gupta! I have been complaining to my doctors for the past few years about this phenomenon, and none of them seemed to understand the relationship. You have cleared up a lot of questions and relieved a lot of anxiety about what was wrong with me. Thank you!
