a fibber
It seem like after a hard blow to the chest in an accident I seem to have afib.Question is it possible that the vagus nerve may be affecting this problem .It seems after I eat certain things it happens intermittently.
A blow to the chest can indeed cause an rythym problem. It generates a minute bit of electrical charge to the heart. I'm a paramedic and we sometimes used to use a "precordial thump" to start a heart in arrest. RARE BUT POSSIBLE.

Your question is too broad for most of us, suppose that's why no other replies yet.
Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter are electrical signal problems, not sure how that relates to the vagus nerve, but I doubt that an accident (a blunt blow or something like that I assume) would cause either condition.
