@mikeyp, this discussion is a prime example of problem-solving with the community (jargon term is crowdsourcing). When is your next doctor's appointment? And with which specialty?
I think we'll all be interested if a) some of our thoughts and speculations are well founded and b) how you physician reacts to where you got your information. I hope you'll report back.

Hi Colleen,

Believe it or not but I don't have another cardiologist appointment at all, after meeting with the last one ( number 6 ) he said " We can't find anything wrong with you to why you get these " so no more cardiologists I guess. I do have an appointment with my urologist on Friday to see what is this " discomfort " in my kidneys, I think I STILL have kidney stones, I had 5 in one and 6 in the other and to my knowledge they never passed. The urologist didn't want to do lithotripsy because he said the y were too small and should pass on their own, I think I may have even more now.

Hi again Colleen,

What do you know about the Vagus Nerve ? I heard that this could be another reason to get heart palpitations.

I don't Mikey. Anyone else know about a possible connection between the Vagus nerve and heart palpitations?

Here is a simplified description of the vagus nerve and palpitations from York Cardiology:

Thanks, I saw this one with Dr. Gupta a few weeks ago, thanks though.
