I believe GI issues are one of the many possible symptoms of fibromyalgia. I take an omeprazole daily for acid and a probiotic daily for regularity. Without these things, I have substantial pain.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I hope you get some answers soon! I have had g.i. issues for years. Some foods I eat that help: prunes (3 a day), oatmeal and of course plenty of water.

Are you experiencing issues with your vagus nerve related to fibromyalgia?

While the search results don't specifically address vagus nerve issues in fibromyalgia, this is actually a topic that comes up in the fibro community. Some people with fibromyalgia do report symptoms that may be related to vagus nerve function, such as:

- Digestive issues
- Heart rate irregularities
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Difficulty swallowing
- Breathing difficulties

The vagus nerve plays a role in regulating many body functions, and some researchers are exploring connections between vagus nerve dysfunction and chronic pain conditions.

If you're experiencing symptoms you think might be vagus nerve-related, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can help determine if these symptoms are part of your fibromyalgia or if there's another underlying cause that needs attention.

Have you noticed specific symptoms that made you wonder about your vagus nerve? Understanding what you're experiencing can help guide the conversation with your doctor.
