by djrjaj, Jun 17, 2008 06:24PM
for 15 months i have been having nerve pain in my entire spine. i also have difficulty swallowing, inability to feel sleepy, only sweat under my right armpit, cough up a clear sticky liquid, and low blood pressure and heart rate. i have many tests for gastro issues to mris. they have found a cyst in the right diaphram that is 6.5 cm x 3.6cm. they are not sure if this might be causes some nerve problems. how can you determine if you have damage to your vagal nerve? please help.

Though this cyst is quite large this may not explain your symptoms. The fact that you have swallowing and inability to sleep symptoms means that the problem may be somewhere higher up, like in the brain or upper spine. I agree that this may be a vagal nerve problem, and the vagus nerve can be affected from its origins in the brain and anywhere in its course in the spine and other organs. Treatment is usually directed to symptoms, and your neurologist or cardiologist will know how to handle this.
For now, make sure you have adequate rest and avoid too much stress.
Regards and God bless.
