Vagus Nerve - I did it again!

[secondtry]

The Vagus Nerve is more relevant to some with AF than others. This post is relevant to those that have a sensitive VN. I have been free of AF for over 4 years now however I have had during that time 3 occasions when I have felt it start, which believe it or not have arisen twice from visiting favourite places and the latest 3 weeks ago from just thinking about shortly visiting the same place to do some work there that I am passionate about. In each case, I immediately sat quietly and focussed hard listening to a 'slow heartbeat' on my iPad that you can get up on YouTube. I was back to normal in minutes. So my point is, it is possible to use a sensitive Vagus Nerve to reverse AF - daily practice of meditation can help to focus the mind when needed. Hope something there helps.

Thank you will try that.

I've often listened to a slow heartbeat on YouTube too and it can certainly help. Jean

My vagus nerve didn't like my first ablation - I passed out in the lab!

do you have a link to the slow heartbeat? Sounds really interesting

the one I like the best is youtube.com/watch?v=dyzuWGD...(Not working as expected?)

[secondtry in reply to songbird74]

Oops the link probably doesn't work, if you google Youtube and then put in the search box 'Slow heartbeat' and it should come up first. Good luck

the first link works fine - next time I need it I will give it a go-Thanks

I really think you have it exactly correct for many people who suffer with arrhythmia in particular AFIB. I had an episode and ended up in the ER of AF. I moved from the small gurney from paramedics to the ER bed and did the valsalva maneuver and went in to NSR immediately. I also had to speak before our assembly and I was nervous. Went into AFAfter just thinking about my testimony. The VN really plays a huge part in these heart issues I believe.
