Suggest Treatment For Vagus Nerve Dysfunction
Question: I have been getting sick for almost 2 years ( day every week) bring up mucus, extra salivation etc. Doctors can't work out why as all tests come back fine. I had a tummy tuck and breast lift 6 months prior to this beginning. I read about the vagus nerve. Could this be my problem. Could that have been damaged in the operation?
Brief Answer:
Yes, most likely vagus nerve dysfunctional.
Detailed Answer:

About the possibility of vagus nerve damage during surgical procedures that you underwent, it is necessary to be confirmed by the surgeon.
