hello can any of you lovely ladies tell me if you've been having trouble with palpitations and fluttering and does it have any connection with your stomach issues the reason I asked about the connection is because I noticed that I ate chocolate mousse the other night and it made me very sick to my stomach and I had acid reflux after that and a very bloated stomach I noticed that when I went to sleep I started getting palpitations and fluttering and it only happens to me when I'm trying to sleep it also happened yesterday when I got a call from my gynecologist with my mammogram results before him even saying anything my heart started racing out of control it's been happening 3 days now when I try to go to sleep at night can this be just another of the wonderful symptoms of menopause any feedback will be greatly appreciated thank you and God bless!!!
I believe my heart palps and stomach issues are related to a point. I do have some palps when I’m not having reflux or stomach issues, but I believe the palps are exacerbated by my gut. I believe it’s all connected to the vagus nerve. If you google vagus nerve and heart palps and gut issues, you will see lots of people noticing a connection. I try to stimulate the vagus nerve with deep breathing when I have this problem and I take a essential ois that calm my gut issues. I also take a daily probiotic.
Hiya
I have this such a lot it feel a like it us related to like indigestion like I want to belch very strange. My heart races and flutters when under stress also xx
oh yes, suffer with extreme anxiety wakes me in the middle of the night. i wish i knew what triggers the attacks. HRT has helped me
Chocolate has caffeine which can bring on or exacerbate heart palps. i do notice anxiety and bloating can do the same thing. like above I believe its all tied to the vegas nerve also.
I am so glad you posted this! I get these fluttering sensations in my chest and I just posted the same thing the other day. My GP said that it sounded more like it was from the stomach too. Of course I had her do an EKG just to make sure and it was normal. I have heard about the vagus nerve being responsible. I am just glad to know that I wasn’t the only one feeling this odd sensation, although every time I get it the mind wants to think something is wrong.
I am having them a lot this week. They do come more often when my gut is off. I did not Sleep last Sunday because of them and again tonight. I have been taking a low dose of beta blockers for a couple of weeks when they are really bothersome. I also take Hawthorne and Motherwort. My doctor also talked to me about vagus nerve connection. I just hope they stop soon. Good Luck.
