I would love the opportunity to consult with this doctor regarding my daughter’s multiple issues- at this time the most alarming of which is feinting unexpectedly. It happened today while she was out walking in the snow by herself. She is 16, has a lot of anxiety, probably has IBS, gets migraines, has attentional difficulties, and is likely a good candidate for depression- though there has been no diagnosis.

What an excellent website and article – thank you for your in-depth research. This is a difficult area to diagnose, and you have helped greatly. What type of doctor would I seek out to deal with treating the vagus nerve? I’m having a hard time finding a doctor that even knows what I’m talking about. Thank you!

I have problems with my vagus nerve in that I get dizziness that is not round and round but like falling forward but not. I had a car accident years ago and damaged my shoulder. I woke up one morning my head slightly off the pillow and my vision was jumping forward. Got my head back on the pillow and it stopped. I have a problem with two MTHFR genes that can lead to cardiovascular problems. My father, my grandmother on his side both had heart problems and died from them. I found out about lectins, oxalates and salicylates recently and researched the foods I was eating, removed a lot of these from my diet and after about eight weeks, the inflammation around the two discs in my lower back have eased so I don’t get up in the morning now feeling as if the disc were going to go. I have had tinnitus since I was 30 and could never understand the reason why it developed in both ears. Now I know. I have had vague health problems all my life, but at 70 I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. This article about the vagus nerve was truly excellent and extremely informative to me as someone who has tried to understand things through my own research.
