Hopefully your life will return to normal after your ES surgery and you can go back to work if you want to.
Hi Donihue,
The vagus nerve symptoms I experienced occurred during hard aerobic workouts. My heart rate & blood pressure would randomly drop instead of increasing. I would get very light-headed & winded way beyond what I should have been. I assumed that the shortness of breath came from my body reacting to the lowered heart rate by making me breathe harder to try to get more oxygen quickly into my bloodstream. I would feel like I was going to pass out for a few minutes. For several hours after this happened, I felt “off” - low energy, foggy brain, etc. It took about 8 weeks after my first styloidectomy for these symptoms to go away, but they gradually disappeared. I’ve had no problem in this regard for a couple of years now.
What symptoms are you experiencing?
Will be praying for you! 
This is how I feel but probably not as bad as you were. I talk and move around it gets worse
Hello I better understand my tachycardia and great fatigue I have since so long..
These kast days I control my tension and my heart. Just when I wake up my pulsation is 115 without doing nothing!

Hey there! I know it’s a couple of years out, but I’ve noticed something in your reply that made me curious. You said you have a thymus mass. I’ve received yesterday a CT impression indicating that my thymus is suspect and I need to schedule biopsy.
I’m just curious if you sorted it out and if you are back to normal. Thanks and much love!

Noroc . Eu nascut in Moldova, (putin graesc moldovenesc ) ))) Amus traesc in Rusia . Plănuiești să mergi la Agaev? Mă gândesc tot. Am avut deja o operațiune nereușită în Rusia ( Compression of the two IJV and unsuccessful surgery in Russia ). Puteți trimite scanările CT / RMN la e-mail

Good luck. I was born in Moldova, (a little bit of Moldovan Greek))) I live in Russia. Are you planning to go to Agaev? I’m thinking about it. I already had an unsuccessful operation in Russia ( Compression of the two IJV and unsuccessful surgery in Russia ). You can send the CT / MRI scans to my e-mail
