Upper back/neck strain caused heart palpitations.

Hey! Symptoms have improved a ton, as my neck and back have gotten stronger. The X-ray showed my neck was overly straight caused by a strained CT junction and weak muscles. I have been doing PT the past month to strengthen this area and my palpitations and other symptoms have improved tremendously. I also heard a hatial hernia can cause these types of symptoms, so if you get that after eating that likely is it. The vagus nerve can get irritated if stretched or compressed, that is what causes those weird palpitations, so fixing that will fix everything else most likely. I couldn’t believe how off and weak my neck was, it’s actually feeling better than it did before I hurt it in the first place! Good luck!

Having similar symptoms, can you go in detail how you found what was wrong and what exercises helped fix it. Thanks.

Thank you, I had one session pt and got the MRI results said I tend to keep my neck pushed back a bit much so recommended me chin tucks without retraction. BTW did they tell you about any protrusions?

Thanks again

I recently strained my back and was having palpitations. The sudden pain and strong palpitations when looking down (doing laptop work) it was quite strong so i first had my heart checked and it was fine, so I was sent home. Its been happening again several times per day, I suspect it is spine related. I was frustratingly looking online for a similar case, finally found your original post and it was like I had written it myself - I’m also 6”6, athletic, and I’m no stranger to sore back.
So, I will be making an appointment to get that checked and follow your process because it sounds like things have improved for you
