I love peppermint tea. I have a lot of stomach issues, and it always seems to help a bit.
The worst, though, is when I’m super bloated and it makes my heart skip beats. That’s scary.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Perhaps get the heart skipping beats checked out by a doctor?
I have, and thankfully, my heart is in great shape. Apparently I have a hiatal hernia which is irritating the vagus nerve, causing the PVCs.
When it started though, I immediately went to the doctor. I was scared I was having a heart attack (it’s still a bit scary, even though I know it’s fine).
I fucking love peppermint anything. They even have peppermint pills, but honestly I don't recommend them because then your burps smell like peppermint but you never tasted peppermint.
It's like the pills Peter Griffin gets in the episode where he becomes handsome. Makes em smell like freshly baked cinnamon rolls
this is my introduction to this comm. very nice. I should aspire more to this
I wish I didn't hate peppermint so much. To the point I dread brushing my teeth with normal toothpaste. But it's nice knowing people find it soothing.
Do you like cumin? I can’t stand the stuff, but I love mint. The reason I ask, is that the molecule responsible for the taste is the same in both, just mirrored.
Interesting, I dislike both cumin and peppermint but I can do peppermint tea.
Yeah I don't mind cumin sometimes. It's extremely potent so you have to play around with that signature flavor if you want to balance it out to tolerable levels.
Mint will grow like an unchecked weed. Plant some in a pot and you can have fresh mint everyday. Chew a leaf after dinner. Good for breath and bacteria, good for stomach.
Consuming mint every day will get you stomach problems too (too much stomach acid and you'll feel bad)
"Everything in Moderation" as they say.
That's where the bottle of tums comes in handy!
Yeah mint tea is great. I also bring a bunch of mints when flying in case there's turbulence/shaky landing
If you want complete relief, generic simethicone. It's about $0.06/dose in the US.
