Vagus nerve

[belita857]

I am having  the similar problems.  I feel dizzy and then my heart starts racing and I feel like I need to have a bowel movement. It is very scary.


This discussion is related to VAGUS NERVE and STOMACH or HEART LURCHES (spasms).

For YEARS been telling different doctors off and on that I cannot take a short nap without my stomach twisting PAINFULLY and bloating when I get up (I do not nap anymore...).  Had to lie back down and push my guts around and wait for gas to pass.  Doctors acted like it was anxiety.  If only.
  Now when I am sitting slouching it feels like it's affecting my heart rhythm.  Doctor thinks it may be hiatal hernia and we'll do CAT scan.  Glad to hear it may not be heart problem at all.
   Not nice when doctors act like you're crazy.....

I too, had an umbilical hernia repaired with mesh. Not sure if that messed up my nerve or I am allergic to the mesh but I have been miserable for 31/2 years. Did all the dianostics, suspected Small intestine bacterial overgrowth. Have GERD, small haitel hernia and gastrparesis. Didn't have any issues before the surgery. For me it's burning stomach and horrible bloating.  Sit at a desk at work all day and press on my stomach. Sleeping with a hot water bottle helps, can only lie on my left side. Last thing the gastro doc said to after the "really clean and great looking CAT scan" and his diagnosis of gastroparesis was - "you might feel like your dying but your not".
Am glad to find this sight as I will try chiro and some of the other suggestions

I KNEW it!!  I've been experiencing this for years. I have a lot of gas after eating, especially on the first meal of the day, and I always knew that when I wasn't taking my Prilosec OTC that I would experience it.   I had very strong feelings that it was due to the nerve that runs down from your brain all the way through the intestines...I, too, think Prilosec is the best heartburn medication I've ever taken...a little pricey but soooo well worth it...thank you, abbymae, for your well-spent money!

I started having problems right before i got pregnant, they said it was my gullbladder. My whole pregnancy i had what i called "Gullbladder Attacks" when my daughter was 6 weeks old they removed my gullbladder but i still have these attacks where i almost faint with a pain in my right side by my lungs i turn pale white and have cold sweats and i drop wherevever i am and almost faint..I just recently had an umbilical hernia repaired with mesh and tried eplaining to the surgeon my symptoms but he basically made fun of me an said he would set me up with a neurologist...Yea like it's in my head are they kidding! My husband has witnessed these attacks and had to lay me on the bathroom floor at 6 months pregnant, and the day before my hernia surgery i had to be rushed to the hositatal in ambulance while my  19 month old stayed with her 84 yr old great grandmother till her dad could get home i would never fake that! but by the time i got to the hospital i was fine so they treat me like nothing is wrong..these attacks happen then they just disapear like nothing happened and they have me on prilosec and bloodpressure medicine but now i see it could be this vagal thing...Thanks for showing me im not crazy but now i have to convince the doctors:)
