Suggest Treatment For Gag Reflex Causing Increased Heart Rate

Hi, I have a problem that when i am surfing i will gag/throwup when it seems my heart rate goes up while i am diving under waves to get back out. This never happened to me for many years, and limits my confidence in the ocean now that this has been goinon for over 7 years. I have seen 3 doctors and 1 ear/nose /throat/ specialist and asked everyone i know in ths time if they have ever heard of this thing. The doctors say they don't know either.

I recently noticed that sometimes when my heart rate rose while ridin my bike i would have similar symptoms. Here is a little history I think may have something to do with it.

I spent 8 years using an old abandoned cannery that was spacious but moldy(mostly in winter rains in california) as a practice studio with other musicians. Spores, I dont know. I just want to get my breathing and confidence back so i can enjoy the ocean as safe as possible. thank you, Mark.

Hello,

The current issue seems most likely to be in relation with altered homeostasis mechanics of the body pertaining to certain body exposure.

The best remedy would be deep breathing exercises, meditations and yoga as there are no medicines for this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
