[@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.

A nasty generalisation about doctors! You haven’t a clue how hard we have to work, and with continuous professional development is a given as without that we cannot continue to practice, and more importantly when patients expects us to know everything yet many things are still in the infancy of research! Many patients also go to Dr Google and think they know everything, yet they end up at the vagaries of quacks and then when their health goes pear shaped they expect us to patch them up! No profession can claim they know everything, and more importantly I always tell my patients to understand their bodies and the manner in which they execute their life styles, and to listen to their bodies!

The other side is that too many specialists who by and large are surgeons offer little past surgery which is often unnecessary and offer very little other than that which is why many look elsewhere and yes a lot of that info is not great but some is and especially for non acute conditions wesrern medicine is somewhat of a failure ppi’s being just one example of medications that are overall a negative for many, bad side effects haunt western pharmaceuticals

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!!!

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.

My palpitations caused anxiety, anxiety increased the acid in the stomach and made things worse. vicious circle. God bless you

I had same symptom and doctors couldn’t figure out the problem. I told them there is a link between my stomach and my heart and breathing. When my stomach become bloated, I couldn’t sleep and get acid reflux and heart palpitations. Only recently I figured out a solution. Don’t eat any food that whole day. Sometimes several days to reduce stomach bloat. Another solution was eating potatoes and more vegetables and nothing that could inflame stomach

My strong advice is ditch the medication. Its your worst enemy with acid reflux, 80% of reflux is too little acid. Take raw apple cider vinegar morning and night and as mad as it sounds your acid will improve massively.

Brilliant! Thank you! I recognized the role of the vagus nerve, my short trunk body, and digestion triggers, at least 20 years ago but could never find good information to support my “diagnosis.” Whenever I brought it up with a doctor or even a cardiologist, they looked at me like I was a “problem patient” and they had no idea or interest in what I was asking. One cardiologist smugly asked me, “And where did you go to medical school?” This video is excellent - and for me, personally - rewarding. Well done!

[@katrinarawls3632]

Preach my friend a doc who asks where u went to medical school is enough for me to walk out and give them the high sign, cuz science has changed over the years fs but many old diagnosis are coming around again with finer details and more understanding and if they are closed minded I'm sorry, that's not a doc that's a white coat pushing pharmaceuticals as a side hustle w a GOD complex. A good doc listens first.

[@I-talk-about-tough-topics]

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.

[@deendrew36]

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..

Success story. I realized that I have palpitations two months ago; 4-5 palpitations a minute. I am 51, male, very active, good heart pressure, good pulse, no symptoms apart from being conscious of ectopics, especially when resting. I made a connection to my digestive system as at the same time I was burping constantly and had difficulty in digesting fat, felt my stomach was always full. Bought digestive enzymes, betaine hcl and bile salts; the protocol helped with my digestive issues but the palpitations persisted. (I still continue taking them) Went to a doctor; still waiting for blood test results and a holter monitor. Decided to look at my diet. I was eating a good diet; fresh vegetables, fresh meat, eggs, low sugar fruits occasionally, nuts and I started eating rye bread around 3 months ago while on holiday and I brought my new habit home. I don’t eat dairy, sweets (apart from when on holiday), I don’t drink, don’t smoke. No grains apart from the bread I mentioned. A week ago I decided to stop eating bread.

I want to schedule a consultation so bad but I just can’t wait 2-3 months. We need more doctors like you. Palpitations are crippling!

[@swagkidm10]

Did you end up getting them checked out?

[@ksharpe8137]

I’ve asked my Dr. about the possibility of this being my case and he always brushes me off. I feel like I finally have an answer! Thank you Dr!!!!

[@Iamjazminmariah]

My Dr. Said the samething....oh no that's not the case...they just give us meds and send us off

[@abdollahgilani4119]

Also thank God for your thanking God our Creator for blessing us with such a marvelous pacemaker which works constantly for so many decades !

This video saved me to come back to life. I am having all these symptom which I could not exactly put it across to both my cardiologist and Gastrointesologist. This video came as blessing in disguise. Million salutes to Dr Sanjay Gupta. I hope and wish you get recognised globally as the best Dr. If there is any recognition beyond Noble prize, you are the first one in that list. Thanks a lot.❤🙏

I am 62, began having palpitations in my early 30's (artificial sugar was the one thing I had introduced, Crystal lite, and REMOVED after talking with my doc). One thing that works for me, is what my doctor said to do (after many echo cardiograms, I was healthy) bear down, grunt, push...it's like a reset. This was a very enlightening video, having lived with palps for so many years. I am a back sleeper, I eat healthily, but when I digress from the good things, I get the palps....I make mental notes..lol

Thank you Dr.Gupta! I thought I was loosing my mind. Had stress test, echocardiogram, wearing heart monitor, several times over the years. I'm glad for the info! 🙂

OMG…you sound just like me. I am hoping that you are doing much better. I am so happy to have found this video after one of the worst palpitations.

[@lindachandler2293]

When I mentioned this years ago, I was told to leave the doctoring to doctors. Needless to say I didn't, thank goodness.

[@adyarym]

Hahaha!!! Today (these days ) my doctors were asking about what digestive enzymes I use and what type of Sativa or Indica was used as medical marihuana (oil) with my husband and in what amount of CBD/THC. ( We did not had enough time to help him though.) Yester years they did not even want to talk about that because it was a sin but now that is legal, all are accepting the idea and many are interested in the marihuana business too. Sound familiar?

[@lindachandler2293]

@@adyarym Not legal in Western Kentucky yet. People are sometimes not daring to say they use even the oil.

[@adyarym]

linda chandler Yes, I know it is still banned in some states. I live in Puerto Rico and even when it is extremely controlled by law,/ fed gov, it is widely used. Legally. As in any state you need a license that must be provided by a MD and the Dept of Health. I will make an appointment very soon too. Hope to not need THC! - I will look also for Biodecoding method but I don't think there are too many trained people here if any. Have you seen that? If you could find a trained person and get help for free, get it! It is easy and not invasive. Emotional it is but just the moment you discover what triggered your disease, illness, accident etc.... Then you heal. It is said to be triggered by a non suspected bad emotional experience. Last week I found an MD/ND/ Energy worker that might help me with that even when she is not trained in that method specifically . They say anyone can help other people or do it for itself but I haven't found my trigger experience.(s) Let's see if she ( they) could help me!

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.

[@kerryb1234]

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!

[@ezekiellackey3439]

Ciarrai B hey buddy, maybe get in touch with a naturopathic doctor online if you have to, and id look into getting your stomach acid up and getting off any and all meds you can. I'm going through similar stuff right now. Believe I'm getting better and I know that my low stomach acid is directly connected to what's going on.

[@RL-qc8lk]

After a heart attack from a blood clot (palpitations), I am getting closer to getting my digestive distress resolved. I do have a hiatal hernia but don’t know size, etc. I’m finding out. 2 1/2 years of this has been terribly frustrating. Thank you for your clear explanation of a seemingly simple problem that causes crazy issues!!

[@albertorodriguez8677]

I started eating better and not eating 3 hours before bed. I dropped 90 lbs and my symptoms are ALMOST gone. I too have had 2 cardiologists act like I'm crazy. Its depressing when they dont listen to you.

[@yvonneflorence3043]

Ciarrai B our issues almost alike. I feel you. I'm in ER now because of this

[@wanderinghome9979]

… That was way more information than I had been finding. I know that this is not related to anxiety or depression. Gastrointestinal involvement makes so much more sense. Thank you.

[@joanwren6144]

Such an awful feeling. Could be AF which is more of a problem than palpitations as it can become very debilitating and cause anxiety. A vicious circle. Also if you take acid inhibitors as the cardiologists suggests. you could be really low in B12 which causes anxiety. I am going to come omeprazole for a couple of days and take high doses of magnesium and B12. Good luck with your symptoms. Sending love and kindness to you and all the others suffering out there 💜

[@shirleygough9892]

Fabulous to have a cardiologist who looks at the different causes of heart issues and not just what meds to take. Very empowering. Thank you so very much .❤️ Shirley

[@TimHWolfe]

I have recently watched several of your videos. I am 66 and I live in Colorado. In just a few minutes you have explained basically all the issues I have been going thru for 20 years now. 4 operations on my esophagus and diaphragm, a stent in my LAD 20 years ago and 2 years ago a quadruple bypass and last year a pacemaker. I am not overweight @ 6’ and 175lbs. But I do have a family history of heart and esophagus issues. I have always been active, but the last 2 years have really taken its toll. I even had to retire. I would love to send you a short note regarding my history and hear any advice you might have. I will watch more of your videos to see what I can learn from your experience. Thanks for all the information. I’ll ask my wife if we can come over there for another vacation. We were there in 1999 for 3 weeks and had a wonderful time.

[@andreastott6338]

Dr Gupta, bless you for taking time to outline this lifechanging information. I have been suffering with Angina Pectoris for almost 2 yrs (only 1 tachycardia registered on ECG - after coronarography, arteries clear, IRM showed heart muscle working correctly). I do get massive panic attacks in the evening after eating. One of the other symptoms I get is feeling like an elephant is sitting on my chest and the only comfortable position is to lie on my stomach. I do have chronic inflammation in the stomach and esophagus. My goal going forward is to eat slowly, eat light, eat less frequently (1-1.5 meals per day), increase my exercice and be happy and grateful. I believe fasting and resting is key to our recovery and understanding what is happening in our bodies - thanks to you - helps us to feel more in control and not get swept away in feelings on despair. Doctors like yourself I a gift to us all !
