Bradycardia, Syncope, and how Cervical Instability affects the Trigeminal Cardiac Reflex

[@herdmentality101]

I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Happy Doctor's day!! You are a life saver!! ❤

It helps to know why I feel the way I do 2 years after a crash. And I have been doing my best to maintain a straight neck and doing the therapy. But I still have gut issues and pain. But doing my best with what I have.

Another issue I had is that I was doing weighted shrugs in the gym, so I think this was compressing my vagus nerve and a couple hours later I had stood up and basically had a near syncope situation, which is not normal for me.

Interesting thing to notice! We have found that posture and neck position can greatly affect an individual’s symptoms. This could mean that when you are doing these exercises that it is not the most optimal position for your neck.

Can this cause the sinus node to push excess voltage? An EP study showed I have Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia and was medicine resistant. Sadly, I have a pacemaker after a sinus node modification that healed into a junctional escape rhythm. After still having issues even with the pacemaker, I found a specialist across the country. I have severe horizontal instability, atlantoaxial instability, atlantooccipital instability, bilateral impingement of the internal jugular veins from my C1 tubercles, and severe internal jugular vein stenosis on the left side. I have cranial cervical fusion at the end of May, but why isn’t this something all doctors know? I have been through hell. After ten years of complaining about my neck, the curve was reversing, and I don’t know how I am still alive. I have to get a glossopharyngeal block the day before surgery, but I get trigeminal nerve facial pain a lot. I have a mouth guard in to keep my face from hurting. I am hoping surgery resolves all of this. Hearing all this is so depressing. I had so many doctors dismiss my concerns.

Hi Doctor, which nerve in the neck causes symptoms of esophagus muscle squeezing, difficulty swallowing, tension in the chest, mid stomach area muscle tension?

Can cervical instability cause mouth and throat pain???

[@meje8384]

Yes, it can. One of my problems due that. Mine is on right side. Also gives me ear itch. Sometimes cracking sounds by opening water tap. Eye pressure. Floating stuff in eye sight. Etc

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Samantha, Thanks for the question. Yes, it can cause pain and even burning or strange sensations of the tongue, and functional problems such as swallowing and speech difficulty. We've done some other videos on those topics in our vagus nerve and strange sensations playlists on our channel, if you want to do a deeper dive on the topic. Wish you all the best in health!

Is cervical skynosis a cause of bradycadia?

[@HH-qp4bu]

Hello. Can l5s1 spine herniation cause bradycardia.

[@AngelaGWillis]

Thank you, as always, Dr. H for your invaluable knowledge. Is Bradycardia hereditary? My Mother, her father, myself, and my eldest brother (and now, my sons) have always had super low heart rate and blood pressure. At times so low, it FREAKS medical staff out! We do all have pretty bad hereditary kyphosis. Eldest brother has issues with vasovagal syncope, especially in regards to his eyes (like you mentioned), happened with the on set of a retinal detachment and then again after the surgery to repair it.

[@engineeredtruths8935]

Can these pressures on the nerves and main arteries in the neck be seen on MRI? I need to make sure i have this but the symptoms seem extremely spot on for my unexplained problems..

[@jmwhitt]

Just learned something new. For the longest time when my head was in the down position like reading a book in bed, I would feel something like a palpitation something down in my chest, and I would have to lift my head up immediately, this must be the issue.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

It very well could be! In our office we are able to determine the best neck position for sleeping and every day activities. We have found that the positioning of the neck plays a huge role in symptoms!

[@halfrank8783]

Can there be a link with Klippel Feil Syndrome? Single fusion of C6-C7.

[@alfred576]

Hello Dr Hauser. I am 66 old male who lives in Australia. I have slow heart beat (between 41-50 beats per minute at rest) mainly because I was a super fit long distance bicycle rider for 20 years. I just wanted to know if prolotherapy can help with C4/C5 grade 1 retrolisthesis, C6 grade 1 spondylolisthesis and buckling of the ligamentum flavum. In the last 3 months I also got right ear tinnitus which is rather annoying. How do you doctors identify where to inject and how effective is prolotherapy for my conditions? I would like to avoid a cervical fusion if possible. Thank you. Alfred

[@DigitalCave-vv1ht]

@Alfred So sorry to hear that I think they have a FB page too WIth that being said Im from Australia(NSW) as well and I get elevated HR I have loss of lordoti curve

[@casperclaiborne4527]

What is the solution for this? This is what im going through. And it's severely hindering me. And it's scary, im 39 and due to this im concerned about dying

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

[@daledavis6984]

I have trigeminal.

[@markelder4789]

I would get SVT, had an ablation i wish I had known about Prolotherapy 15 years or so ago. But I suppose the hospital had to make a profit

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

You don't know what you don't know! But it is awesome that you are researching alternative treatments now.
