Please help I'm worried about my VAGUS NERVE!

Hi I'm an 18 year old girl who has been worried about her heart for a while. I get alot of chest discomfort, heavy heart plaps, arm neck and shoulder discomfort. I've been to the doctors about 40 times and has 3 echos, 24 hour ECG, , about 20 normal ecgs, 2 chest xrays, 4 heart (trop t) blood tests all Normal.

I surfer alot from stomach problems and mental health issues and I believe because of my vagus nerve my stomach issues are causing alot of my heart symptoms. But I'm worried because I read a story (and I'm really not trying to scare anyone I'm just frightened myself 😥wink about a girl who had gut problems and panic attacks with mineral deficiency (which I have also) who was found dead in her room. She was completely healthy and I think it was because the right side of her vagus nerve (which connects with the heart) was to over simulated and I'm worried the same thing will happen to me. When u die from a problem with the vagus nerve they can't tell after death and they couldn't find out the cause with her. They say that when u die because of a problem with your vagus nerve it happens really fast and that's what happened with her she was fine one minute and dead the next

I'm sorry if I sound like a nut job I just know my vagus nerve is over simulated cause of my gut and anxiety, I'd appreciate any advice thx

    Hi Alice,

    I'm so sorry your going through this ! I think it's all to do with your anxiety!😞I get physical symptoms now that I never had before. I have had stomach problems... I have some non erosion thing ... basically have to watch what I eat and drink. I also think that it's my anxiety because I have had stomach problems for years on and off. I really think it's anxiety! Your anxiety can create a multitude of physical pains! I have experienced it most recently with headaches, shooting pains, neck aches... Try to do your breathing every day even when you get rid of this.... and it will pass... I have had anxiety for weeks now... it's so scary at times! I cry when I spiral! If I don't have anxiety on those days I cry! Because of separation 2.5 years ago. Do your breathing, self talk, meditation, anything that you have been adviced to do! Do it... praying for you... 💞Stop looking things up on the internet ! That's just makes your thoughts worse! Look for things that will help you!💞

      Let me tell you some thing ok i think you have an ibs + anxiety ----as you tell before that you have an upset stomach have you ever try medication for Ibs --------------

      i have tried several medicine for Ibs-----even once i start crying in front of doctor whats going with me i remember its 3 years back when i was 28---i feel really upset at that time i have shortness of breathe and i burp all day + i have in digestion--------i request for tests but the doc laugh at me and give me colofac for 6 months---which help but not to much------my family members my friends think that i am pschyco-----------i change doctor after a month or two-------some time i run to the emergency room that i might have heart attack i feel like my heart stop beating then suddenly it bupm like a hell---------------almost 2 years ago i come to japan and at starting 3 months i don,t have work so i don,t have health insurance-----after that i go for health insurance and go to doctor request for endoscopy because of upset stomach i go for colonscopy---i don,t wanna do it its feel so bad to me but i wanna know what is the problem + heart ech0+24 hours holter ecg + now ct angiography------------

      In the age of you its very very very very rare That you have a heart disease don,t think it-------stop searching on google ok promise------watch movies ,try to go for outing with friends or just make your self busy in studies----------i like hunting when ever i go for hunting i forget all worries then i feel well--------so make your self busy in some kind of activites----------its not easy but don,t destroy ur life you are so young------------

      Important Advise for you : 

      1----- you have a loose stool ---------if you have you are going through ibs -------- best medication for Ibs Is ------------ Colofac ==2===imodium======3====Best medicine is Librax it will help in your stomach issues and also calm your mind-------------discuss it with your doctor please  if u don,t have stool problem means loose stool un complete bowl movements then you didnot need it----------

      2------ if you have heart burn most of the time or feel  pain in stomach area or to much bloating discuss with your doctor about omeprazole +===esmoprazole---lansoprazole ----pantoprazole----famotodine-------------------thats the medication taking for acid reflux or stomach ulcer-----------if u have some problem which is related to acid problem your doctor may prescribe this----

      3==== For heart palpitation Propnolol is best------discuss with your doctor about it and as i take it for few month with lexapro it reall help alot for me------

      i am not a doctor and i didnot know to much about medical related problems------i share what work for me every one is not the same---but i will be really very happy if my experiance will help you=====================

      feel free to send a msg any time----------i will reply to you if i know some thing ok----========
