Hi CAYTexas, your story is very similar in a lot of ways. Did you happen to read my post, here’s the link? > [@Encouragement for those still seeking...tips, symptoms etc](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/encouragement-for-those-still-seeking-tips-symptoms-etc/23148): > > Hi to all, I wanted to introduce myself and share some of my experiences with Eagles. I had been scanned via ultrasound, mri & ct in an effort to figure out why I was having swallowing problems, all without my styloids being mentioned. I got sent to a different place for a ct by our ent. Finally, they mentioned the elongated styloids and my ent looked at my scan and knew right away we had likely found the problem. But, he didn’t know how to perform the surgery himself. So he assured me he knew a… But basically, I’d say get a hold of Dr. Osborne in LA. He will see you super fast and give you answers. He loves to help people and everyone at his office seems to have the same heart. If he doesn’t think your styloids are your problem, he will tell you. But if it is your styloids or likely is your styloids, he will know and then you can move forward with what to do, either with him or whomever you choose. But at least you can have answers quickly. He knows Eagles back and forth, up and down. I just had both my styloids removed, and my heart stuff has settled big time. I haven’t had any of the heart racing. I’m pretty sure it was my vagus nerve being compressed making things so off with me. I feel great and I’m only about 3-1/2 weeks post op! I hope this helps. I know the suffering, believe me!
