I am 35 years old, and have an overactive Vasal Vagal nerve in my body. This nerve regulates your blood pressure, and its the largest nerve in your body.

I have been having really bad acid reflux and went into the hospital for an upper Gi-endoscopy.

Before the RN caring for me gave me an IV, I told her about my overactive nerve.

She said, OK, and proceeded to give me the IV.

When she inserted the IV, my vein ruptured.

Immediatley, I felt this vagal response and warned the RN about what was coming.

My heart rate dropped down to 30 bpm, and my blood pressure dropped to 68/32.

My entire body at first was extremely hot and I was sweating profusley and experienced awful naseau.

That was the easy part. While my blood pressure, and heart rate continued to plummit, 75% of my body went entirely numb and I started to shake violently both externally and internally.

The MRT (Medical Response Team) came down to assist with the situation. However, during these syncopal episodes, there is no medication to help.

After about 7 minutes after this event, my blood pressure/heart rate returned.

This event was terrifying and I'm so thankful to be alive tonight!!!

Sounds like you should of thanked your RN for saving ur azz.

 
Glad your ok.        

Oh man..so happy you're ok..that's a frightening thing to even contemplate.
 
 

This lady popped my "vagal nerve" in my shorts one time and I got all "hot", "sweaty", and "my body went entirely numb and I started to shake violently". My blood pressure went up not down though.

Slammed my thumb real good to where it started gushing blood, went to the sink and cleaned it, then backk outside to rest for a bit before doing more work. Moments later even tho the pain and bleeding had stopped i went pale white, lots of nausea, and had to b laying down or else i felt like i would pass out. My friend saw this and helped to put the situation into better perspective by asking me if i am seriously going to die from slamming my thumb. Luckily after a few minutes i was instantly better feeling like a complete wuss going wth just happened to me.

Hopefully the endoscopy came back with positive results. Drink lots of fresh water and lemon juice. Lemon juice goes in as an acid but acts alkaline when combined with your digestive juices. Should help alleviate acidity. Anything about healthy diets feel free to ask me. Poor diet is the leading cause of premature death around the world which means that most the people u know including yourself are likely to fall victim unless cancer or something else gets to you first. Which poor diet increases your risk of cancer. Avoiding over 90 percent of grocery food that are not fruits or vegetables is key to a diet that does not promote health issues.
