Heart Palpitations: A Gut Health Issue

Heart palpitations can be a symptom of a stomach issue, specifically the Roemheld syndrome, which was described by Dr. Ludwig Roemheld in the early 1900s. Dr. Vikki Petersen explains that this syndrome is caused by gastrointestinal imbalances, leading to inflammation and increased intraabdominal pressure, which irritates the vagus nerve and slows the heart.

The traditional medical culture often overlooks the interrelationship between organs and systems, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment. Dr. Petersen emphasizes that the Roemheld syndrome is real and can be resolved through Root Cause medicine, without the need for drugs or surgery. By addressing the underlying gastrointestinal issues, patients can alleviate symptoms such as heart palpitations, anxiety, and fatigue.
