Can Anyone tell me the symptoms of vagus nerve damage

Is it all the time, or isolated such as after meals? There can be a number of causes other than vagus nerve damage.

It seems to be when ive had food. But i had alcohol yesterday too and it was really bad 😕

Vagus nerve damage can present itself in many ways - unlikely that anyone can diagnose from a single symptom.

FWIW - my vagus nerve damage resulted in slow heartrate and slow recovery (heart rate) time as well as gastroparesis and other problems.

I have gastroparesis i also get a foggy head for about 1 hour after i have eaten. My bpm is low at moment. It's 48bpm at moment whilst sitting but when the palpitations was here yesterday was really scary and my bom went over 100bpm whilst sitting. I am worried this will never go. I have an appointment with my gastro in 3 weeks. Can you please tell me some of your symptoms and do they get better with time

Dazza:

When you say heart rate is high, normal is between 60-100 bpm, how high did it get? Totally unrelated to my NF surgery, my heart rate was over 220 at rest. Gastroparesis can effect heart rate as well as after a meal containing high levels of carbs or sugar.

Hi
It's more like a racing heart
Palpitations. I can feel it now but heart rate is ok
It's like I feel jittery

Have you tried cutting back on caffeine? Also, be careful with cold medicines and make sure you aren't dehydrated. Another thing to have checked would be thyroid. Most of the time it resolves on its own, but if it continues you might want to schedule a cardiologist appointment. In my situation, my problem was electrical and I had cardiac ablation.

For what it's worth, whenever I have a bad run of GERD, I'll get PVCs that result in bigeminy (skipped beat every beat) until I pop an antacid or have some cold water. Mine go away with burping, antacids, or antigas chewables. Well, when I say go away, I actually average a PVC every 15 beats, which my cardiologist says is normal. With the bigeminy, my heart rate will be low because of the skipped beats, then it will pop back to normal. I have no adverse affects or symptoms. And I've had the PVCs for 35 years.
