There is a nerve, vagus nerve, that if stimulated enough can cause irregular heart beat. And that could lead to heart attack and death. Extremely rare. I would not worry about it. There are probably other factors involved.

Yeah I'm very aware of that nerve. It's the reason why I pass out when I get blood taken from my arm. I fucking hate being touched on my inner arm. I can barely stick it out when they try to do it. Then usually 5 minutes later I'm waking up. I asked them why, because I'm not even afraid of needles, they don't even hurt. They said it's from lack of oxygen to that nerve, because I "forget to breathe".
