Heart Palpitations ARE a Stomach Issue

I’ve experienced this and NO Dr had any clue whatsoever. I’ve had to go on a YouTube journey for healing.

Heart palpitations can also be caused by low magnesium.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta was talking about this in a video that said it was 8 years ago. He called it the gastro-cardio syndrome.

My mother told this to her doctor and was told there was no relationship between the two systems. This was years ago. Just goes to show doctors don’t know what they don’t know and the patients know their own bodies

I told my cardiologist a few times , if I didnt have to eat food , we wouldn't even know each other . I've always thought my palps were tummy related. I gave up on crappy carbs and started eating correctly and they all but disappeared. Thanks for this great video.

OMG my father told me this when I was 12. I got skipping in 7th grade. Dad had it. The palpation ALWAYS signaled a GI problem..took me 30 years to NOT be afraid. BLESS you for coming out with this. It is 100% TRUE!

I actually got told by a gastroenterologist that the gut is the great imitator and problems in the gut can cause issues all over the body. I already knew this from my own experiences but this was the first time i heard a doctor acknowledge it.

In my case heart palpitation increase as I increase carbohydrate, when I eat my normal low carb diet with a Magnesium supplement the palpitations disappear. Apparently a high carb diet restricts the absorption of magnesium.

Heart palpitations can also be caused by food sensitivity/allergies.

Yep. I was recently in the ER with palpitations that caused me to faint a little - they were happening at the same time of day, after breakfast. The doctors determined it was not a heart issue which is great so then I had to experiment with switching up the morning routine. It turned out oatmeal for me was the culprit. Stopped eating oatmeal. Palpitations stopped. Simple.

I don’t know how I ended up here but I recently got diagnosed with anxiety to explain my heart palpitations, shortness of breath and vertigo. Seems YouTube knows more about symptoms than my doctors

My palpitations were 100% my heart, 100% perimenopause. Hormones. Had ALL of these exact symptoms and it was progesterone crashing out. In menopause, ALL GONE. Hormones control SO much!

The ER doctors don't know about this, they think I'm making things up, because they're not specialist on this matter.

Absolutely right. If your stomach is too large or your diet causes it to swell you will get palpitations. This is the voice of experience.

I've had palpitations for years. Recently I changed my diet. I used to eat a bunch of crap. Now, I eat really well. My palpitations have almost stopped so this makes sense.

I went to a cardiologist fifteen years ago convinced I had a serious arrhythmia. After wearing a holter monitor for several days, the cardiologist determined that I had "frequent non complex pvcs and rare PACs" but that they did not,"except by random coincidence" align with the points where I indicated I was feeling palpitations by pressing the button on the Holter (this meant that a not insignificant portion of the 'heart flutters' and 'skipped beats' I was feeling were not even coming from my heart). He told me everyone had the ectopic beats and it was harmless, but he didn't offer a suggestion for why I was feeling this sensation that didn't line up with my PVCs and PACs. I didn't believe him and spent fourteen more years miserable, stressed and anxious. Last year, I started getting heart burn daily that I could no longer ignore..I changed my diet completely to a very bland diet full of only foods that I know are well tolerated for me. My palpitations nearly completely disappeared after two decades with them (PMS week is still hit or miss). If I go off my eating plan for more than a day or two now, the palpitations come right back. This is why the Holter monitor results didn't make any sense to me, my symptoms were not necessarily cardiac in nature (or, more accurately, not of pathologic cardiac origin) even though I was really convinced they were. I can't believe this is not more mainstream given how many people it affects. Interestingly, I only just recently remembered that I first began experiencing this when I was 16. It'd send me into a panic attack, and my grandmother would always tell me to calm down because I "just needed to move my bowels." As a teenager, I always thought she was just being gross... It turns out that Her experience and wisdom was so much more valuable than I could've appreciated at the time. ❤ An OTC simethicone/Gas-X in situations where you want them to stop pretty quick while waiting to change your diet will do wonders as well.

You are so right! Every time I've had heart palpitations, I've had stomach issues, and every time I've had stomach issues, I've had heart palpitations. 100% cause and effect. This should be obvious to modern medical doctors.

I was having all these issues and suffering immensely. My cure was a carnivore diet. It took only days to feel better and I'm alive again!

Sometimes I notice that I get heart palpitations if eat certain foods or have too much coffee. Also watch your B vitamins. We need those B’s or bad things happen.

I remember when I went to my doctor, it was a building with one doctor who owned it, one nurse and a receptionist. He actually listened and cared. Oh those were the days.
