I just want to say that you have made my life so much better. I had my first AF episode 5 months ago and have been worrying ever since! But after watching your videos I now know I have all the symptoms of vagal AF. I’m 56 in really good shape, don’t smoke or drink alcohol and always busy. I’ve been watching your videos ever since my Af started trying to find out what could be causing it. Now I know I can adjust my life style to hopefully prevent these very uncomfortable episodes from becoming regular. From the bottom of my heart thank you. ❤

I hear a lot about AF coming and going. For two years or more I suspect I was in a pattern where AF was indeed coming and going, during this time I was using light cycling to maintain my Type Two Diabetes. Before this I had many days in work where I was lacking in performance for no apparent reason, so the AF may have been going on for a much longer period. This lack of performance was put down to high Insulin resistance or exercised induced asthma. From October 2016 I feel as if I have been in AF all the time every day 24/7, during December 2016 I was finally diagnosed with having AF. Sleeping is literally a nightmare my lungs get fluid and i wake up very breathless. At the moment I am struggling to do anything I get out of breath very quickly at the slightest exertion. In 2 weeks time I am to have Echocardiogram and on March 1st I am to see a specialist to discuss the results of the scan. So I have a further four weeks of this horrible situation to endure. Currently I am taking Warfarin and maintain an INR level of 2.4, one 40mg Furosemide and Cardicor one a day 2.5mg. I also take Triple Magnesium Complex every other day. I have tried taking two of the water tablets at midday in an effort to reduce the water in my lungs at night but so far this has had some very mixed results ranging for being good and helping me to sleep longer to being totally ineffective. Is there anything I can do to help me get some sleep. At the moment if I am lucky to fall asleep I will sleep for 2.30 to 3.00 hours before waking up struggling to breath. I have tried just about everything I can think of but my lungs just get fluid in them and when that happens very little helps after that and sleeping is out of the question no matter how tired I am. Do you have any suggestions that could help me as I am very much on my knees and struggling to stay positive

Hi Dr. Gupta, I'm 77, live in America, have always been healthy, and I'm an active tennis player. In the last year , I noticed that, on occassion, when lunging for a ball and bending down to the right, it would trigger an episode of tachycardia (around 145-155 bpm) that would last for anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour. Years ago I was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia and thought it may have gotten larger, triggered the vagus nerve, and that was the cause for the tachycardia. I have a lot of knowledge about medicine, having run a Pulmonary Lab for nearly 50 years. However, it wasn't until I listened to your simple, and wonderful, explanation of the relationship between the Vagus nerve and the heart that I felt I truly understood the various mechanisms that can trigger the episodes. I carry the Kardia heart monitor with me so I know it's tachycardia. Interestingly, lately, I've had periods of A-Fib (around 110 bpm), as well, that have lasted for 15 minutes and up to 2 hours. Rather than panicking and running to a cardiologist, I followed your advice and the episodes are nearly gone. I also teach pulmonary diagnostics at one of the medical schools, which makes me truly appreciate what you do with your You Tube sessions. You explain things simply, so that even a layman can understand them. In addition, it's obvious that you love what you do and genuinely care about people, in particular, your patients. You also help allay our fears that we're going to drop dead on the spot every time we feel the slighest change in our heart beats. I'm sure I speak for many when I say how grateful we are that you do what you do. I look forward to all your videos. Thank You !!

Hi Doctor Sanjay, you have described my Vagal Atrial fibrillation perfectly; first episode 3 years ago (50th birthday), and now they occur monthly on the full moon (for real)! I too, have found that sleeping on my left side is not good for V-A-fib. In addition to what you recommend, I would add that massaging the abdomen prior/during and after an A-Fib event really helps. When I do feel it coming on (I do feel these slight flutters. or wobbling of the heart beat), if I get up and move around, bringing my heart rate up (from low 50's to mid 60bpm - I ride bikes), that does bring my body out of the "slide" into A-Fib. If I wake up with A-Fib (which is what usually happens), the first thing I do is drink a lot of water and take a Magnesium/potassium pill. Next, I begin the abdomen massage where I start with light and gentle touches, progressing to a more deep tissue massage of the abdomen as it feels right to do. While I do this, I breathe, relax, and meditate on my heart beat returning to normal. I have found that this process reduces the intensity of the A-Fib event by 50% and reduces the duration from about 4 hours down to 2 hours. When I get up the next morning, I no longer feel tired from the A-Fib from the previous night. Recently, I have been experimenting with the "Accu Point Pressure Pen HK-01" (kzitem.info/news/bejne/xHeBrJqpmIV2oI4), and this has helped too. Thanks again for confirming what I have been experiencing and providing new methods and ingestions to try. My A-Fib doctor does not understand this Vagal/A-Fib relationship at all. Your Vagal Afib video is invaluable! Thank you!!!!!

You described my AF 100% exactly on point. My cardiologist hasn’t a clue about my AF and in fact I refuse to let him treat me anymore. He tried me on the channel blockers and beta blockers and things got worse as you said. Nothing my cardiologist has prescribed has helped me at all. Life style changes have almost eliminated my AF altogether. Magnesium helps me tremendously. And I recently switched to taking my BP medicine at night and that has helped tremendously, too. I can’t believe more cardiologists don’t know about this or consider vagal AF, but you are spot on with how my AF presents. I have learned more about my own AF from watching your videos than from my own cardiologist. And BTW, I’m a 68 year old female. Thank you so much for your videos.

Thank you Dr. Gupta for your wisdom on this. I was diagnosed with vagal afib and had a minimaze procedure six months ago. Since then I have had no afib episodes, thankfully, however, my resting and sleeping heart rate is now 40 to 50% higher than it was before the surgery. I presume that is because the treatment disrupted some vagal nerve fibers going into the heart, so the heart can’t slow down like it used to. Is there a remedy for this? Or will they grow back?

Describes me perfectly, except that palpitations and a heart pressure/surge feeling usually starts an AF episode for me. My current problem is that every time I go to sleep, and am just at the point of falling asleep, I get ectopic beats and pressure sensations which I immediately stir from to fend off AF. At this point it is very difficult to sleep at all. I've only had an hr per night for 4 nights. Back in contact with cardiologist to see what can be done but I don't think he is a believer in Vagal AF and thinks I should take Metropolol. I am finding that sleeping on the left, which I have always done is also a trigger, so am going to try the right.

Oh my god, this video is so accurate, it scares me. I'am 26 years old, 75kg on 177cm, never smoked, no drinking, no drugs, no diabetes. In March I woke up with afib for the first time in my life, went to the ER and got e.cardioversed into sinus again. 4 Weeks ago I got a pulmonary vein isolation, now waiting for the end of the blanking period. However I noticed extreme heart skips and flutters when laying on my LEFT side, no doctor believed me. Now I get heartskips when eating heavy meals....like a footlong sandwich or a full sized kebab :D Now I have to take betablockers and edoxaban every day. I believe those make my symptoms worse... My heart itself is in an awesome shape. No structual deseases, perfect bloodpressure. It feels like my body is betraying me after preventing all these bad lifestyle habbits :( Other people party like armageddon is aproaching and I have to watch every step in my doings.

Visited my GP today about unrelated issue. Discussed my PAF, which I have had for 18 years and which is being very well managed by my him and your colleagues in York. However it is 1st time I had ever heard of a vagal variation and he recommended I look up your Utube videos. Really glad I did they are extremely helpful and confidence building. Up until watching your introduction to Vagal AFib I felt my symptoms and triggers were a little peculiar. You described, so closely, my usual onset condition even to the extent of increased occurrence when settling down to sleep on my left side! I had started to think I was imagining this and it could not possibly have anything to do with increasing the likelihood of an episode. I am sure you already know this, but for me at least it is certainly true, getting to know and gaining an increased understanding of the problem as well as finding that you are not isolated in terms of symptoms is very therapeutic. I look forward to following your work and better understanding my condition in the future. Many thanks Bryan

Excellent video. I had my first afib at 19, then nothing for 10 years and it happened again, then after another 10 years and it happened but this time is it did not go away and kept coming back. I have been on Flecainide and Cardizem for the last 15 years and it seems that every year I have a bout for about 1 week or two where it comes back and the meds don't seem to help. I have mentioned that laying on my left triggered it at times as did things like a cough or stomach bloating but my doctors have usually dismissed this. One time I laid flat on my back and the rhythm was normal, I would rotate to the left and it would go out, roll back and it was fine, roll onto the left again and it kicked out...my wife witnessed it. I appreciate your videos. They don't prove I'm not crazy but maybe in this one issue I'm not.

This is absolutely fascinating and I continue to be amazed at your passion and knowledge on this subject! After getting episodes once every 4-8 months over the past 10+ years(currently 39), I finally got on on ECG on Monday - Atrial flutter. All of my 'episodes' have have happened either while bending over or which on the toilet (not shy about it! :) ). I also experienced one when I jumped out of my car into really cold weather. I also get ectopic beats most frequently at night while slouching on the couch or after eating beans or spicy food... sometimes while drinking cold liquid. All of this makes me convinced - perhaps wrongly so - that these are triggered by increased vagal tone which slows the heart and then activates the arrhythmia. Most commonly at an onset of an episode I experience very irregular beats for 5-10 seconds (which REALLY freaks me out) and then my heart takes off into a rapid rhythm... have counted it at 160 twice recently and in the ER it was sustained at 147, sometimes up to 150. SO... the only difference in what you are saying here is that every single episode I have had has happened in the day time - except for this last one which happened at night AND my heart rate does go very fast. Vagal Maneuvers worked in past as does changing positions especially laying onto right side or lifting left arm up. This last time however it lasted 1 hr 45 minutes - they gave me 12 mg of adenosine and it did not convert... 15 min later just before they were going to give me a beta-blocker it converted when I sat up. Who knows... perhaps this one was A-Flutter and all the rest were a more common/classic SVT. I am going to make an appointment for online consultation with you... these episodes are terrifying but even more terrifying to me is being in the ER without a cardiologist present and them not being sure of the rhythm and going for adenosine and other drugs that I fear could cause more problems... this is why I need to be prepared and with a plan! Thank you so much for helping us

Thank you Dr. Gupta for this video. I have lone AFib. Mine is vagal. I was diagnosed at the age of 34 after ingesting an ice-cold beverage. I didn't have any episodes for about 15 years, but now they've started occurring more frequently, usually at night when I wake up to use the toilet but also if I ingest cold foods/beverages or cough hard. I have been reading a lot of studies and papers, and I learned something I thought I would share here as you did not mention it. Research suggests that childhood trauma may be linked to an increased risk of developing vagally-mediated atrial fibrillation (AFib) later in life. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can affect the development of the autonomic nervous system, including the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in regulating heart rate and rhythm. Studies have shown that individuals who experienced childhood trauma may have altered autonomic function, including increased sympathetic activity and decreased parasympathetic (vagal) tone, which can contribute to the development of AFib. Additionally, childhood trauma has been linked to inflammation, oxidative stress, and epigenetic changes, which may also contribute to the development of AFib. I think baseline bradycardia has something to do with it as well. Like athletes, my resting heart rate has always been very low (upper 40's), but I am not an athlete. I read a study published in March of this year which showed that children with more violence exposure reported increased post-traumatic stress symptoms as well as lower resting HR. The effect was more pronounced in girls than it was in boys. I think that being female and having a low resting heart rate as well as complex PTSD due to my adverse childhood experiences could explain my vagal AFib, as well as a likely inherited component. My sister has supraventricular tachycardia.

Another amazing video! Can't wait to see my Cardiologist because I'll sound so smart. I am not sure if you have mentioned the following yet. I've only looked at about 10 videos so far. Triggers for my a-fib include the following all of which will set me directly into a-fib. Ginseng, black licorice, all types of alcohol from beer to win and sake (even one sip). I avoid caffeine and chocolate just in case but they were not triggers in the past. Also, if my potassium is low my heart will skip beats consistently and make me miserable. I take potassium supplements and have to monitor the level regularly. I am also on a potassium sparing BP medication but and have been switched off a diuretic recently but still tend to run low. This may help others. If you haven't already done it, perhaps you can teach us how to read an EKG? I'd also love to know what causes my heart to beat so hard at night that it keeps me from sleeping. It is regular but annoyingly hard in every position and can last for hours if not all night. It is not caused by anxiety and usually starts just as I'm fine and drifting off to sleep. It's like I've suddenly been given a shot of adrenaline.

I am going to post a video on my channel about afib and ask viewers who are interested in the subject to go to your channel and watch your videos. it is the least I can do for the help you have given us.

Lying on my back, with my head and shoulders elevated seems to be the best way to avoid this. It also stabilizes the joints for those of us with Elhers Danlos.

What a fantastic, interesting, and informative video. I have diagnosed paroxysmal A-Fib, and I never heard of Vagal Afib until I saw this video, and it sounds exactly like the kind of Atrial Fibrillation I have. My resting heart rate is regularly in the low 50s or often into the high 40s, and I will occasionally have Afib incidents after drinking, even 1 drink of alcohol, or eating a large or spicy meal. Additionally, I noticed if I mix the two of them, or if I drink alcohol on days that I exercise I will have a higher chance of A-Fib. And they are almost always occurring in the middle of the night and last anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 or 4 hours. Additionally, I'll ALWAYS have atrial fibrillation the first and sometimes 2nd night when I go to the mountains on a snowboarding trip. Thanks so much Dr. Gupta. Information is power.

Mr. Wagner, interesting my heart rate also behaves like yours. I had only 3 episodes of Afib in 2 years, however, this happened to me only at night during my sleep; with the only difference being that the first Afib was after having a few beers and lying down on my bed. Also, my heart rate in all of these episodes was between 55 and 70's. Not to mention that my heart sometimes beats too fast(over 130 or so just by walking) or too slow. So maybe I do have VAGAL AFIB....Even though I've never heard about it.

I was diagnosed with Proximal AF a few years ago and you have just described all my triggers. You have also confirmed that the drug regime recommended by my own cardiologist matches the treatment recommended for Vagal AF. Thank you for helping put my mind at rest and giving me some more ideas to reduce/stop any future attacks.

Oddly when I eat watermelon, grapes and water-rich fruits it forces gas from my gut and gives me relief from the pressure. I also take CoQ10 daily along with MagFusion Magnesium Complex with 10 different forms in it. Also, Taurine and Arginine have been said to help for many people. Any acidic foods or acid-producing foods trigger spasms and attacks. I'm finding I can't eat tomatoes, meat, and foods like this that force the production of HCL in the gut. I am now about 99% vegetarian with a lot of alkalizing fruits - strawberries, blueberries, mango, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, cucumbers, avocados, olives, cherries, etc. My body has adepted quite well and so the inflammation and acidosis are slowly subsiding over the months. It can take a long time to recover, so be patient. Repair the gut, toxic and feed the good bacteria with fermented foods and it will help a lot. You may need a protocol to kill bad bacteria as well. A few things that help - Mastic gum, Monolaurin, Lactoferrin (6-hour colostrum), galirc, onions, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, etc. If any of these cause gas, stop eating them. Fruit sugars are fine - fructose. Dr. Robert Morse uses fruit, berries, melons and herbs to heal and has a90% success rate over 50 years in practice. He says we need fruit fructose and not to believe mainstream rhetoric telling us it's bad.

Such an informative video and so many symptoms mentioned indicate that I have vagal AF. My triggers include cold drinks, eating late and Afib often wakes me at night. Also my heart rate doesn't generally go over 100-120. My question is should people with vagal AF AVOID trying the Valsalva manoeuvre or vagal massage. Could it make symptoms worse?

Thank you for making this video. If possible, can you elaborate on patients who have had gastric bypass sleeves and then developed uncontrolled GERD leading to a proximal a-fib diagnosis? In my case, this is what happened to me. I developed a-fib about two years after my sleeve surgery, but at this same time, my GERD was becoming hard to manage with the PPIs I was taking. After following up with my surgeon, who did my sleeve, she recommended that I do a bravo esophagus test in conjunction with endoscopy to determine what my esophagus looked like and evaluate my esophagus's pH environment. After the Bravo test was concluded, it was recommended my gastric sleeve be converted to a ruin-y gastric bypass to mitigate the uncontrollable GERD. A few days ago, I completed the ruin-y gastric bypass conversion, and the feeling of high pressure in my chest is no longer there, and my palpitations and the feeling of a-fib coming on are no longer coming on. I am certainly starting to believe that my gastric sleeve caused uncontrollable GERD, which inevitably caused a vagal a-fib episode leading to a mis-diagnoses for proximal afib. and with the mitigation of the ruin-y conversion, it may be possible that my a-fib may resolve on its own. Does this sound plausible? What items should I presnet to my cardiologist on my upcoming follow up?

Perhaps this was my issue? Perhaps not… I started having odd episodes some years back doing this or that - loading the dishwasher, bending over making 1,000 sandwiches, working in the yard, etc. - it seemed no connection but they all involved repeatedly bending over. I would get the feeling I was going to pass out but never did. Once I just went ahead and laid down and it felt like I did pass out for maybe five seconds and then was freezing when I “came to” and then was fine. You said exercise can ward this off - once I felt an episode coming on and I grabbed a broom and started vigorously sweeping the deck while humming until the feeling went away. I suppose it was intuitive! These episodes happened off and on for a couple of years and I did my best to ward them off. Once I was away from home and my concerned friends called 911 and after a trip to the hospital (they have me nitro on the ambulance - what a headache!) and some tests the docs found nothing “wrong” and sent me home. Some time before they started I recall carrying a very heavy and large storage tub and not wanting to drop it because the contents were fragile I bent over trying to control the landing and gently put it down. As it touched the floor and I was still bent over holding it I heard what sounded like the tightest, highest frequency harp string as a strange sensation ran from the back of my head down my back. Everything still worked so I just kept on with my day. No idea to this day what it was but I’ll never forget it. Thank you for your videos. They are so interesting and informative.

All of my episodes run with RVR? Just started 25mg flecanide with 12.5mg metoprolol daily to see if that reduces the # of episodes. Some are self terminating within 5-15 minutes, while others are terminated with 3 hours with a massive (200mg) flecanide. ChadV2 score is 0 for another 2 years. Trying to decide if an ablation is necessary as some EP say it WILL transform into persistent, but really don’t know. Thanks for all your informative videos.

My AF started shortly after I began having ocipital neuralgia symptoms. I went through all the heart test and was found to have no underlying heart condition. The neuralgia was not diagnosed until after I was done with regular cardiolody. I was referred to electrophysiology cardiologywho prescribe flecainide and elequis, but when I asked why I get an episode when I stretch while lying on my back, yawn, sing or yell loud. Their response was I don't know, but they could schedule oblation. I declined and not sure is a flutter is before or after an episdoe of AF from my ziopatch. I have been avoiding triggers as I can, but the only solution they offer is olation. I asked about the vagus nreve and was only smiled at.

Brilliant, you covered all the problems and potential problems, except acid reflux, although you did say avoid certain foods , over eating, excess everything really AND bending down / over, which forces acid up into the Asophacus and upper stomach, where, I'm guessing, the Vergal nerve is . I remember coming home from hospital after my first ablation, ( the heart guy who did the ablation told me to throw away all my drugs, so certain was he that he had done a good job. back home i dropped a fork on the floor, bent down to pick it up, and off went my Afib again. It lasted all night , and,---back in A&E next day, same guy was hauled in to deal with me ( with drugs ) Thank God for Pacemaker's.

I’m almost positive I have Vagal AF. I have 0 on the chads score. Mine tends to be at night. Usually a startling event such as alarm etc. seems the movement of getting up especially when constricting the midsection seems to cause it. I’ve even bent down quickly while playing and have had it start. Doing push ups and holding my breath can start it. My Docs have said my heart is fine and I’m mid 30s. Have had it since late 20s. Anxiety as well seems to play a part. The pills they give me for when it happens drops my BP so much I pass out and have shock symptoms. I also get flutter from gerd I believe. I feel it and I’ll sit up or stand and burp making it go away. I appreciate the work you do.

Thank you for your videos, Dr.Gupta. I'm in America, and I don't know if you're still active here, but I'm actually confused at this point. I have had Afib episodes during the night quite often and they seem to much more frequent now, but I also have more serious episodes during the day with an even higher heart rate. Is it possible to have both vagal and adrenergic Afib? I know my heart rate drops below 60 at night but when I was monitoring it by pulse ox, I wasn't having Afib episodes triggered by the bradycardia. I definitely awaken with symptoms during a dream episode which is very disturbing. I'm trying to find out how to decrease my REM sleep but haven't read anything about how to do that and my dream states come more often with more Afib episodes because after I awaken I can't go back to sleep and it becomes a viscous cycle. My daytime episodes are hard to pin down to the cause, but many times it's exercise or excessive upper body activity like lifting or gardening. Sorry for this long comment, but if you have any advice I would truly appreciate it. PS... I have been trying to improve my vagal tone but is that a bad idea if I have nightime bradycardia? Like I said, I'm very confused, even as a nurse trying to avoid meds and ablation. Thank you,

Couple questions if you can help me please: I had been taking Magnesium and Omega3 in the evening, but these help to relax the body so should I avoid taking them at night?

I’m wondering if this is what’s wrong with me. It’s a strange one in my case as I’ve got pots, a hiatus hernia, Ankylosing spondylitis (which can cause issues with the heart and atrial fibrillation) and I also have slow digestion which may be linked to the pots. Who knows!!!! Listening to this video does sound like me though. Especially at night when I go to bed feeling a bit odd, and no idea why but I can almost tell before going to sleep when I’m going to be woken during the night with a racing heart. My heart sometimes goes too slow and I feel unwell and very weak. I also have all the issues mentioned regarding too much food causing ectopics and sometimes rapid beats, sometimes my heart rate feels all over the place and can feel like I’ve got fluttering inside my chest, and her other times I can have violent ectopics that can be extremely regular and horrible over a couple of days. Bending can be an issue as is drawing my knees up or even sitting on my own legs. I could waffle on for hours on here but I know the best thing to do would be to actually see you 😂 but if you have any words of wisdom for me then I’d love to hear them. I’m not sure if my complicated medical history and years of misdiagnosis has made my story too hard to get to the bottom of. In fact I’d say it’s caused massive anxiety and mistrust when it comes to many doctors. I want to have faith that someone may stand a chance of getting to the bottom of it all. Forever hopeful! Thank you for doing these videos, you’re a good man ♥️

Thank you Doctor! You perfectly addressed my situation and symptoms. I was diagnosed with a-fib and sinus node dysfunction 12 years ago. As a result I received a pacemaker and had two ablation procedures. I was doing well but then a couple of years ago the a-fib returned occasionally, mostly only at night but sometimes it would last longer, even 2-4 days. I suspected that I may have vagal a-fib and tried cutting out evening snacks that were spicy or irritating to the bowels, like nuts and fibrous vegetables,. That helped for a while but gradually my palpitations and a-fib at night came back and got worse. I then discovered I needed to avoid such foods even earlier in the evening, i.e. not even have them with dinner. I feel much better now! Hardly any a-fib and I am sleeping well. I can eat those foods in the mid-day without problems, so that's when I consume things like salads and popcorn, when I do have such food. I'm male, age 69, a former endurance athlete, and I have some familial history of a-fib. I did experience the left-side irritability which aggravated the a-fi at night.

I play for 2 hours at a time and 2 to 3 days a week. It is sudden onset and sudden stopping It doesn't prevent me from continuing to play.

Dear Dr. Gupta, your videos are immensely helpful. You are doing an amazing job!!! I am an athletic short-distance triathlete and have suffered with PVCs and bouts of tachycardia through my adult life (cardiology found a healthy heart and tests normal). Much of that went away when I started Iron supplements and stopped all caffeine (and supplementing now with Magnesium). Now (at 49) I have suffered about 3 bouts of AFib (about 1 minute in length) - leading to great anxiety. Yesterday's was after a 12 km run in -10 C on a mountain and happened while I was stretching and bending over. The other while coughing and another while bending over. I imagine it could be the Vagus type. I guess I'd like to know when I need to call an ambulance when this happens (how long can you be in AFib before you are in danger?) The sensation was that my heart rhythm was totally erratic (and I couldn't even feel my pulse). My GP wasn't really able to answer. I'm now trying to calm myself as it kind of depressed me to go through this. Gees, and I'm a clinical Psychologist by profession! Thanks kindly - Patricia (in Canada)
