Vagus nerve stimulation. Google it. Phillipa
Hi Phillipa, yeah my Doc talk about it...when we pass stools, we stimulate the vagus nerve so the parasympatic nervous system who lead to increase heart rate...
The problem is that my heart issues last all day long, not only when I strain or pass stools...
I can say that today was the worse day in a while...the extra 5 mg of propranolol was too much so blood pressure was low and anxiety high, dont understand how its possible to have a low blood pressure but anxiety symptoms like sweating from both hands or feeling on the edge like all my muscles in the body will contract and that I will be paralysed...those symptoms mean high NE for sure...so why the low blood pressure with NE high can occur together? Feel so tense right now, no wonder why my head hurt as well as my jaw and neck...
Last evening I took more mirtazapine cause of the insomnia...took around 6mg...that can explain the increase anxiety today...
Yesterday I was feeling quite well compare to today so everything point to the mirtazapine...
Will see my Fam Doc next monday and will look for something or a solution to fix the insomnia and remove the mirtazapine...
Will also fix the heart issues, seem like the propranolol is not doing the effect it was suppose to do, lower my heart rate and not the blood pressure in the low side... Ok, you will maybe think its better to have a lower blood pressure than a high one, but for me, 105/55 is too low when my normal was in the past 135/85 who is normal here in the Canada...I know in the States its rank into the stage 1 hypertension but not here...
When my blood pressure is low, I feel more anxious, im dizzy, tired, headache is.higher, feel disconnected like everything around me is not true who increase futher more my anxiety...
So I wasnft able to do anything today, I just sit on the couch all day long with my ice pad on the head and hot pad on my belly...so another night who I will turn and turn in my bed to fall asleep cause .I wasnt active at daytime...but tonight will not take the mirtazapine, well no more than 2 mg...if I cant fall asleep before 4 am will take more klonopin and wait until I sleep...anyway nothing plan for tomorrow, just the nurse in the morning who will come see how my wound heal...
In the meantime, I do hope I will receive some explanations about my weird heart issues.on the propranolol...
Thanks again, Vincent xox
