Suggestion: Vagus nerve which innervates the heart also innervates the gastrointestinal tract, and its position is inaccurate. Because of the generalization of nerve roots, it is easy to regard the stimulation from gastrointestinal tract as the stimulation from the heart, so when the symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort appear, it is likely to cause the feeling discomfort of the heart, thus causing the symptoms of palpitation and chest tightness. Similarly, patients will have gastrointestinal symptoms of nausea and vomiting when their hearts are uncomfortable, which is very common in clinic!
