Vagus Nerve Gone Haywire: Digestive Chaos Explained

Dr. Vikki Petersen explains that vagus nerve imbalance can cause symptoms like acid reflux, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. An underactive vagus nerve can lead to gastroparesis, while an overactive one can cause rapid gastric emptying and bloating.

Causes include hiatal hernia, abdominal distention, stress, and more. To balance the vagus nerve, try box breathing, physiological sigh, humming, and cold exposure. Call 727-335-0400 for guidance on assessing and treating the root cause.
