VAGUS NERVE TREATMENT
by caib, Jun 18, 2008 12:54AM
I'VE HAD A CRONIC COUGH FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS CAUSED BY IRRITATION OF THE VAGUS NERVE. WHEN I GET THE SENSATION TO COUGH I FEEL PRICKLEY STINGY FEELINGS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY THROAT. I PUT PRESSURE ON IT AND MOST OF THE TIME I CAN STOP THE COUGH FROM COMING. ALSO, MY COLON GETS VERY TIGHT AND BULGY AND I FEEL THE TIGHTNESS ON MY VAGUS NERVE AND AGAIN I PUT PRESSURE ON IT AND ALSO I PUT PRESSURE ON MY LOWER LEFT SIDE WHERE THE COLON IS. IT FEELS VERY HARD AND LUMPY. MOST OF THE TIME I CAN STOP MY COUGH BY JUST PUTTING PRESSURE THERE. I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO FINDING SOME HELP FOR THIS CONDITION. I HAD TO STOP WORKING BECAUSE I CAN'T TALK FOR MORE THAN 3 OR 4 MINUTES WITHOUT COUGHING. I DON'T GO OUT MUCH BECAUSE I COUGH EVERYWHERE I GO. I'M DESPERATE TO FIND HELP. PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS

I have had a chronic cough for 11 years. I know when it is starting. I feel a tightness in my throat. I have been to many doctors, taken countless tests and meds to no avail. recently I went to one more ENT who was a throat specialist and he diagnosed me with vagul neuropathy and started me on elevil 20mg at night. This past week has been the best of my 11 years that I have suffered. I don't know much about this condition but wanted to share it with you
