“Missed” beats with digestion issues, particularly bloated stomach.

Posted by Eden @eden, Dec 6, 2019

I’m interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced “missed” beats while suffering problems with digestion, particularly while having a bloated stomach. Gastroenterologist thinks it may be an affected vagus nerve.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

Hello Jadilow, My understanding is that heart pain moves. It doesn't stay in one spot. It moves and that can be around the chest, and sometimes up an arm, through to the back, up into the neck etc.. Muscle pain can be sharp and in one spot. Try some moves that move the chest muscles around and breathe in and out deeply. It can cause sharp, localized pain when you stretch chest muscles.
I think you would know if you have reflux. It really feels 'digestive' and burns. Baking soda really helps. If you take it, any reflux should calm right down so that should tell you if it is reflux. Tums is okay too because it's just calcium. If you have Xantac, take it back to the pharmacy. They've discovered it's carcinogenic and it's been taken off the market.

I also have PVC's when I am having bloating/gas. I also have a hiatus hernia which makes me wonder if there is physical interference with the heart. Since I have rhythm issues, I am particularly sensitive to the PVC's. I have taken most of the PPI's at one time or another. They do work, but am currently on Zantac (pharmacist insists they have changed the formulation for RX) for a change. For certain, a trip to the chiropractor helps with the acid reflux, but I have also noticed that it helps with the PVC's "sometimes". The move is helps is between the shoulder blades. Could be coincidence, but I don't think so.
