Vagus Nerve

Posted By Carroll on September 24, 1998 at 23:55:16:







Hi, My symptoms are sweating for no reason, chest pain along the vagus nerve area, diarrhea every day.  I have had a barium enema test and small bowel series.  I had a stress test for my heart.  All tests were normal.  I am at my wit's end.  Today I was talking to a customer and I was sweating profusely.  It was only 60 degrees and I was sweating!  One of my doctors prescribed Robinul for the sweating.  It helped the sweats but did not cure the cause.  Another of my doctors prescribed Prozac.  This also helped for a time but then I started having the diarrhea.  Last year when the weather became cooler, the sweating stopped.  Not this year.  Please advise which direction medically I should take.  A gastroenterologist or neurologist (or someone else).  Thank you for your time.
