Hi @kerrylee3 and welcome to connect. I notice this is your first post so I thought I would let you know how replies work. There is a couple of ways to speak to another person here on connect. For them to see that you addressed a certain post you can either click on the blue reply button or like I did with your handle put a @ before their handle name. This way that person will either see your reply in their email box or the onsite notifications bell you see at the top of the main page. Its also possible they are watching this series of replies and will respond to you when they next come back .

I myself had a heart transplant 6 years ago and I had similar problems with rhythm prior to the transplant. I too had interesting twitches in my feet mostly which would go away but I never tied it to the vegus nerve. I do know now because during a heart transplant the vegus nerve is cut so we have to get used to it not responding as well to increase heart rate when exercising. SO again welcome and let us know if there is any specific area you have interest in. We have members from many different areas who share experiences.
I might ask what brought you to connect? is there an area of interest that brought you here?

I am using this way to ask a related question of the Mayo volunteers; I've had this vasovagal factor mentioned several times in the past as an issue I may be facing. In some of these descriptions today I see some similarities to what I have experienced although for the most part to lesser degrees. Could you advise if we want to explore this vasovagal issue further what medical field would be best to contact -- neurology, cardiology ... ???
