Anyone who thinks their vagus nerve is at the root of their arrhythmias could find this article interesting.
Someone's developed a device to stimulate the vagus nerve and Tuesday’s Mail had an article on it. I’m not advocating buying this device, especially at £149 but the article is interesting. It mentions the low tone vibrations that certainly affect me. I know others on here have also been affected by the loud music at a concert and that must be why.
In case anyone else is interested here’s the online version:
As a life-long vagal A-fibber, the problem with it is that the vagus is *too* active. As a confirmation of that, Disopyramide is a known vagolytic drug, i.e. it reduces the action of the vagus, which is known in the literature, and was a miracle cure for me for a short while (but can be hard to tolerate due to side effects). So ironically, it may be the adrenergic AF sufferers who could (theoretically) benefit more from this device.
Thanks Pat. I am very interested in this subject. I think you need time with Lifestyle changes to get your Vagal tone more normally balanced without drugs/supplements. Recently, I think I may have discovered what has caused my AF in the past in the night, poor breathing (possibly thinner faced/nasal features people more affected) alerting the Vagus Nerve - early days yet but I am researching UARS (Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome).
My gut feeling is ouch! Low frequencies on my sternum. Just like the rumbling of a heavy lorry outside, which shakes the building and shakes my gut which resonates with it. A distinctly unpleasant and stressful experience.
