Why am i having heart palpitations with a nervous stomach and anxiety as soon as food or drink hits my stomach? All of this happens at one time. Its difficult to eat or drink because i know whats coming. I am freezing cold also, dont know if this is related to that or what.

      Hi Maria..I did read something about the vagus nerve could be irritated. This coldness is crazy, the bottom of my legs feel like ice and arms tingling. It makes me want to pull my hair out!😂

    You get used to the palpitations after years of it. I get them constantly when I am supposed to have my period. I say supposed to because I never know when Im going to have one. At first I thought I was having a heart attack but now I just try to calm down and it slows a little. I guess the cold is another symptom too because sometimes I get so cold that I feel like Im going to shake myself to death. But then on the other hand I get so hot that I cant breathe. Its a crazy world this perimenopause has dealt us. My doctor recommended taking ACV tablets and it has actually relieved my heartburn and palpitations some. Its good for alot of other uses too.

      Hi kimberly yes it is time for my period but like you said "suppose to " So you're saying that the palpipations could be from acid reflux? Im thinking that could be ..i do have acid reflux/gerd., but it hasnt been bothering me but then again it could be "silent" . I took something for it this morning and i belched like crazy afterward. I was doing the acv but stopped, i am horrible with being consistent. I have the cold and hot moments too. I know my family thinks im crazy. 😨 Yes this perimenopause is no joke!

    Hi

    I have really bad anxiety with stomach issues -  my memory is shocking - been tested for quite a few things but everything comes back clear.

    Don’t really know what to do 🙃

      Morning Mary 27278

      It’s awful isn’t you feel like you have no control. Inside you feel like you are screaming for help and you can’t see a way out. 

      Sorry I didn’t get back to you yesterday had a cold so felt even more drained than I do normally. 

      How are you feeling today?

      Hi AG13..i am doing better right now. I woke up with this crazy uncontrollable feeling, nervous stomach, anxiety..until i went to my mailbox and saw my package sitting in there. I was one happy soul! 😁 I took two probiotics for the anxiety (gut) and it help me so much. I ran out and my order took forever to get here. Now i see that i can never run out of this stuff. My lower back still aches, but i think it is gut related. When my bowels are released the aching subside .Are you feeling any better today?
