If you regularly experience heart palpitations, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) could help alleviate your symptoms, returning your heart to a normal, healthy rhythm. Discover if VNS is right for you with Pulsetto.
I can’t be the only one who has experienced that pounding feeling in my chest; like my heart just took a stumble on the steps and is now racing to make it up. It’s scary when it happens and often my worrying that it is indicative of something more serious makes the feeling worse. Thankfully, I was able to break out of the heart palpitations doom spiral with Pulsetto.

Heart palpitations – or the feeling that your heart is skipping a beat, racing, or pounding – are incredibly common in US adults of all ages. In fact, according to figures published by the Cleveland Clinic, over 16 percent of people who saw their doctor did so because they were experiencing heart palpitations as one of their symptoms. And having recurring or severe heart palpitations are amongst the most common reasons that patients are referred to a cardiologist.
So if you experience that fluttering feeling in your chest, know that you are not alone. But should you be concerned?
Whilst heart palpitations are a symptom associated with many serious health conditions, they can also be brought on by stress, anxiety, or panic attacks.
The good news is that these more benign causes are all closely linked with the parasympathetic nervous system, which can be influenced by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS).
Quite simply, vagus nerve stimulation is a non-invasive treatment that involves delivering electrical impulses to the vagus nerve, which acts as your body’s superhighway for information related to stress of both the body and mind.
Stimulating the vagus nerve through deep breathing exercises, brief cold exposure or a specially designed, non-invasive electric stimulator device can, therefore, help to alleviate heart palpitations.
But vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can also help to improve your heart rate variability (HRV). Biohackers love to monitor this biomarker as it is a great indicator of your overall health and resilience. Recent studies into HRV showed that VNS can help create a more robust cardiovascular system, reducing the likelihood of your heart palpitations reoccurring. So you get double the benefit from just one VNS exercise or session!
Pulsetto’s vagus nerve stimulator operates alongside an app on your phone to help induce a feeling of calm, resetting your nervous system and allowing your heart the breathing space it needs to assume its regular rhythm. Basically, Pulsetto helps calm your body down so that your heart can get back to its normal beat pattern – no more fluttering in the chest.
It’s easy to use and sits comfortably around your neck, giving the device the most effective access to the vagus nerve. Users often see results in minutes, and more long-term improvements are possible once you start incorporating VNS sessions into your daily routine.
As with any new treatment involving a health-focused device, make sure you contact a medical professional before starting VNS sessions. We don’t want to take any chances when it comes to our heart health and folks with pacemakers, defibrillators or other electronic implants should only use VNS once cleared by their physician to do so.
And remember, if you are experiencing repeated heart palpitations or any other concerning symptoms, you should consult with a medical professional to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Safety first!
