This has been going on for a very long time.
I belch constantly, even upon arising in the morning. My heart skips constantly to coincide with the belching. If the belching stops, my heart stops the skipping mania. I was diagnosed with PVCs many years ago, but this is ridiculous. When my heart skips, I now also have blood pounding in my ears. Every night when I lay down to sleep, the blood also pounds in my ears.
I was in fits around noon today and drove over to the Instant Care Center. While waiting, my heart stopped its skipping and the belching stopped. Nothing showed up as abnormal on my EKG and they took 3 vials of blood, said everything was within normal limits and also checked for what the doctor called "heart damage." I came back home with a piece of paper that said to stop caffeine. And upon my return, the belching and skipping commenced again with ferocity.
My GP has talked about the "vagus" nerve (unsure about spelling). I am still skipping and belching as I write this. It's not food related or I wouldn't wake up with it. Whether my stomach is seriously empty or seriously full doesn't seem to make a bit of difference.
Any clues? This is driving me insane. Why did it STOP COMPLETELY for 2 hours today and then start up again when I got home? Don't tell me it's stress because this comes and goes, yesterday I had no incidents until 3 a.m. rolled around... I wish I knew because it's driving me insane, I belch on nothing and if I eat anything, I can taste it, even if it's a banana or a piece of bread... tried Gas X, Rolaids, librax, milk, pepto bismol, pepcid, nothing helps.

Hi..I am not sure of the problem but I have a lot of the same things you have. I always have belching, or passing gas with an irregular heart beat. Its like as soon as the gas leaves my body my heart is more calm! If you find an answer please post it.

The same thing happens to me. I get tired of it, and go to the doctor but I am fine while at the doctor, and then it starts up again at home! That part almost seems psychological. I don't know if I have PVCs or not, probably do, from my own diagnoses. Doctors just keep saying it is stress casued, which I agree with. Stress has a lag time, so if I am stressed for a week I may not get the irregular heart rate until many days later. But much of the time there is body gas involved it seems.

I had this so badly that I lost 100 pounds in a few months and got so sick I could hardly function at all. It was diagnosed after I had improved as gallbladder. Low fat diet, acupuncture was what helped me as well as medications- zantac for acid, and mild sedative which helped belching.

I have had the same things with my stomach and heart. Here is the real reason.
1: excess gas is caused by bad bacteria in the intestines.
2: When to bad bacteria gets out of control ( do to many reason )
the bacteria attacks the heat's sack. your heart has a bag around it.
your body protects your organs first so when this happens your defense system is low ( lack of sleep, poor diet, to much alcohol, antibiotics ..yes antibiotics! While they kill the bad germ ...they also kill the good germs.
3: When you heart's sack is irritated it causes extra thumps. and the bacteria causes mega gas in the stomach.

I have had this problem since I was around 22 yrs old, I am 33 now and have had control of my life back. The fear of dying, having a heart attack are now the past. I have taken all the meds in the world from 37 different Dr's over the past 10 years that never worked. Every heart test was fine but they still gave me meds?? $$$$

There is a natural cure for this and requires exact attention to detail.
you will have to upgrade you life and how you eat and things you do that will benefit you for the rest of your long life.

I have learn a lot from my own trials with this problem and have found what works. There are Many other benefits.

I had the same problem for about 10 years regarding belching and irregular heartbeat. My doctor had me take Ativan, as she thought I had anxiety. It turns out I have celiac disease! I have been on a gluten-free (meaning no wheat, oats, barley or rye) diet for several months and rarely have the gas/heart problem any more.
I think you're right about the vagus nerve...and I believe it's the gluten that causes the vagus nerve to react that way. My insides feel so calm now! Celiac has variable symptoms depending on the individual - gas, bloating, diarrhea, headaches, weight loss, anemia, etc. To be diagnosed, just a simple blood test is involved which shows your TGA (transglutamine) levels. A further test - tissue biopsy of your small intestine - can confirm the disease. A lot of doctors don't know enough about the disease and miss diagnosing it, or diagnose it as something else such as IBS, but in fact it's more common than earlier thought....almost 1 in every 100 North Americans have it. I was very surprised with my diagnosis last spring, as I have no relatives with it, and I'd barely even heard about it. But I feel so much better now. Good luck!

Interesting you mention celiac disease in regard to this. I have really loud pounding of my heartbeat in my ears. Went to a cardiologist two days ago, but he really didn't have an explanation. He put me on a low dose of a beta blocker I'm supposed to try for a couple of weeks and see if it helps. So far, it seems to be getting louder, not better. My heart rate is already low (about 46-52 resting heart rate), so I'm a little concerned about the meds making it even lower. I am a diagnosed celiac and have not consumed gluten for more than 15 years, but that obviously has not helped this particular situation.
