I heard that acid reflux and stomach upset can trigger the vagus nerve, causing what feels like heart spasms/flutters or PAC’s. I experience these quite a lot, sometimes in runs for hours and days. Usually when I have the flutters it feels like it is triggered after a big meal, and feel like I have a lot of gas and need to burp a lot. Sometimes they happen when my stomach muscles are tense or are puttng pressure on my chest, maybe due to eating a large meal (not necessarily due to anxiety or stress, in fact, it usually happens when I am quite relaxed). Since hearing about this possible connection, I’ve tried taking antacids and anti-gas medications, but it hasn’t worked. Has anyone experience these, and is there anything else I can try to relieve/prevent them?
Note: I have had EKG’s, echocardiograms and also wore a holter monitor. The echocardiogram was fairly normal, and with the other tests, some showed PVC’s, and some showed PAC’s, but never to the extent that I was actually feeling them. Every doctor I’ve been evaluated by says that there is nothing that they find wrong– this is what makes me think the problem is gastrointestinal in nature.
