Another thing to add is that I think all of this is coming from taking antibiotics, particularly Levequin and also from root canal teeth.
I have the same thing. I was diagnosed with afib & refused medications. Through trial & error I found that it was coming from my stomach & then found it was the vagus nerve. Here’s how I got rid of it....first thing is ReMag magnesium—it is hands down the best magnesium, it has been like a miracle for me. Also, I found that if you take 1/4 tsp ginger powder (especially after dinner) it calms down the vagus nerve....and 1/4 tsp. Baking soda in water does the same thing. What also helps is having coconut water & one banana everyday. Also I found that if I eat dinner by 6:30 & don’t sit and eat at night I do way better. I think carbs and sugar are triggers so watch those especially in the evening. Also, don’t spend too much time on your iPad — I think WiFi is a trigger.
I am Tachybrady with an Adapta Dual Chamber Pacer since 2009. A little over one year ago, I found out that I have a classic case of MCAS or Mast Cell Activation Disorder. I was amazed when I saw bradycardia listed as a symptom along with my others..
Well, the link to the site in my previous post has been removed, and I received this friendly email from Medhelp.
Tom, I'll be elsewhere. I've never seen a site as neurotic as this, I simply don't need the hassle.

On the issue of Vagal (Vagus Nerve) related arrhythmias, I did find this site, I may have found it here on MedHelp, but I don't remember.
The site appears to be defunct, I don't believe there are any current topics, but some of the stuff is an interesting read. I wish that Doctors would be consider health from a broader aspect. Many aspects of my rhythm disturbances were profoundly related to digestion, but no doctor wants to listen. In addition, I have a seizure condition, controlled, and take Dilantin for it, and Dilantin is also used to treat arrhythmias (not helping me in that aspect). Seizures disorders are also known to cause arrhythmias. I wish I had followed through on my Neurologist's advice to see an Autonomic System specialist.

Hi Peter,
I may have provided you with this link already, but I think it's very relevant to GI Tract involvement in arrhythmias.

For the non-British members, 1 stone = 14 pounds (Peter seemed to provide this, but lbs is not mentioned) so Peter lost 42 lbs, great job.
From the above article, it appears a little more complicated than a strictly Vagus nerve issue, some of the in hospital experimentation with medication revealed some are over activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, some over activation of the sympathetic, and incredibly, over activation of both, all assessed by the pharmacological interventions required. It's an interesting article.
