Vagus nerve

[belita857]

I am having  the similar problems.  I feel dizzy and then my heart starts racing and I feel like I need to have a bowel movement. It is very scary.


This discussion is related to VAGUS NERVE and STOMACH or HEART LURCHES (spasms).

I had ulcer surgery some 30 years ago, and the surgeon cut my vegus nerve. I was left with a dumping syndrome that occurs when I drink anything too soon before or after eating. I also have suffered from irritable bowel for so long I can't remember whether or not that started before or after the vegotomy. At any rate, I now have suspicions that my heart palpitations and stomach spasms might be related to that vegotomy. My daughter, who is a medical doctor, told me that the researchers are looking at the vegus nerve and the heart. However, one thing points in another direction in my family. My grandmother's heart raced and jumped all of her life (and she lived to 100). So, how much is genetic and how much is due to the vegotomy? At any rate, I will remind my doctor about my vegotomy and let him research it. I actually think he might.

My symptoms are almost identical.... Wow! Its amazing that I have been suffering with this for too long without knowing whats going on. Some times of the year are worse and some are better.

I am currently dealing with these same symptoms. Was wondering how you guys are doing now after dealing with it as long as you all have and if you ever got answers.

When my atlas goes out my symptoms are cascading flushing throughout my body and anxiety which lasts about 45 seconds at a time . After the atlas is adjusted it takes about 3 days to come off the tension the episodes caused in my body. Very debilitating. Anyone have similar symptoms?

hi i also suffer when my bowels move and open , lung are clear before ,but wheeze and crackle when bowels move ,the sputum then starts to leave me with every cough , i receive a repair to a hiatus hernia in 2009 but this has happened ever since , every doc reckons it is the vagus nerve but the surgeon who did the opp is denying  it , but the NHS has done nothing to help , my GP wants e to go private but with no money how can I .

I've had exactly the same experiences. It has something to do with the cranial nerves which all go through our neck. The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve. I think it has something to do with subluxations in the cervical area or thoracic areas that are pressing on the vagus nerve. That is why some people who go to chiropractors are getting relief. I may finally go back to one even though I'm afraid of getting my neck "cracked", if you know what I'm talking about.
