Subjects underwent measurement of vagal tone using heart rate variability. Vagal tone was measured during baseline, test meal and intervention (diaphragmatic (DiaB), slow deep (SlowDB), and normal breathing). Vagal tone was assessed using mean values of root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), and area under curves (AUC) were calculated for each period. We compared baseline RMSSD, the AUC and meal\u2010induced discomfort scores between HV and RS. Furthermore, we assessed the effect of respiratory exercises on symptom scores, and number of rumination episodes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Key Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no significant difference in baseline vagal tone between HV and RS. During the postprandial period, there was a trend to higher vagal tone in RS, but not significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&gt;\u00a0.2 for all). RS had the higher total symptom scores than HV (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.011). In RS, only DiaB decreased the number of rumination episodes during the intervention period (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.028), while both DiaB and SlowDB increased vagal tone (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.05 for both).
