24m with two occasions of ventricular standstill a couple months apart. one at 3.4 seconds, other at 4.4 seconds. asymptotic during both. no blackouts. both occurred during watching tv/playing xbox. could this be an overactive/ senstaive vagus nerve?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you had an Holter monitor which demonstrated ventricular standstill where sinus node activity occurred but no ventricular contraction followed. This represents a high degree of AV block &amp;is a dangerous arrhythmia which can cause fainting. It can be caused by exaggerated vagal tone. You may be a candidate for a permanent pacemaker. You should be evaluated by a cardiologist electrophysiolog

Question 10

can the vagal nerve or vagal response be overactive or malfunction? because whenever i eat anything i get very lightheaded, faintness, pale and shaky.

Accepted Answer

Vagal Nerve Problems: Yes, an exaggerate vagal nerve response can contribute to dizziness. Probably, this happens when the vagal nerve causes the heart rate to slow down.

If this happens any more often than rarely, go see your doctor. You need to exclude irregular heart rate rate, fluctuation in blood pressure, and sudden rising or falling  blood sugar - three reasons for dizziness around meals.
