...well I think so anyway :o) I saw my doctor the day before yesterday and said about the irregular heart pattern/ectopic beats, that so many of us are concerned about. I thought that once I said it always seemed to happen at the moment after eating and drinking, or lying on my stomach, he would laugh and me and say 'that isn't possible/no such thing can happen'. Instead, he said 'I get that too, when I eat and drink, its really disconcerting isn't it....it is stimulation of the vagus nerve from the stomach area being full and tension in that area' (or something to that effect) 'I'm surprised it is still worrying you, after having it for so long....lol' (he listened to my heart and then pronounced it sounded perfectly healthy)
I know that lots of us have found our GPs don't agree with the pattern of ectopics we get i.e. happening after eating and drinking, so I was somewhat stunned to hear a medical professional saying they had exactly the same thing...and not being concerned about it. Hope this helps anyone who is worrying about them today ....
