Providing two excerpts here with links for further info. One article indicates it should go away on its own, but some may need medical help: "An overactive vagus nerve can result in fainting. Energy balancing can be used as a treatment of under- and overactive vagus nerve disorders." SOURCE: www.drannedeatly.com/blog/stress-and-the-vagus-nerve/ And: "Most people will experience a vasovagal response due to a stressor or overstimulation of the vagus nerve at some point. Blood pressure lowers, heart rate slows, and the blood vessels in your legs widen, which can cause nausea or fainting. This is a generally harmless response which goes away on its own, however, some people who experience it more chronically may need to seek medical help." SOURCE: zenfounder.com/managing-stress/hacking-the-system-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-vagus-nerve/ Hope this helps give you some direction, and possibly seeking the help of practitioners in energy work, breathing techniques and emotional health are implied to be helpful for both under-active or over-active vagus nerve.

Thank you for your comment. We are glad you found this helpful and may this knowledge be of further assistance to guiding your health. ❤️

Dear Catherine, am so terribly sorry to hear that you have not rec'd any treatment for your concussions. And yes, you are correct - the prior concussions (especially without acknowledgement or diagnosis) has indeed set you up for further concussions. This is due to the ongoing symptoms such as vision issues, balance issues, etc. There is hope though - and knowledge is the first step. Next, it is important to have your concussion history documented with your family physician, then check to see what concussion / traumatic brain injury diagnosis is available through them. And most importantly to see if possible to obtain occupational therapy to help you cope with the ongoing symptoms you still contend with. If you are on Facebook, there are several brain injury support groups - start searching & start joining. You will find others also going through what you are experiencing and many people (especially in your area) will have suggestions on what doctors you have access to. You can also check to see what brain injury associations are in your area and seeing what programs you may have access to. For many how are contending with undiagnosed brain injuries, we are also faced with the financial burden of obtaining the best therapies & healing modalities that will enable us to keep going. In that case, then as you become your best advocate, it is important to further educate yourself about the complexities of brain injuries, as well as learning better coping strategies to help you navigate your day-to-day functioning. Please be sure to review the other videos we have posted, especially the 3-part series on learning better coping strategies. We wish you well on your continuing journey to wellness. Never give up, there is always hope, and learning better ways to manage this highly misunderstood, highly undiagnosed injury.

We do this intentionally as many who attend our meetings have auditory/visual processing issues - for many, hearing + seeing the words helps them to better understand & retain the information...

still alive?

I hope your still alive and to anyone who reads this.Turn to Jesus.He might not get you out of it however he will be with you in the boat.Admit your a sinner.Believe Jesus is Lord.Call upon his name.

Please be sure to refer to the references provided in the description section above for your own research & general knowledge specific to your situation. AND AS MENTIONED IN OUR PRESENTATION, IT IS ALWAYS WISE TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. What is presented here is our interpretation of the research advising on how to stimulate an underactive vagus nerve and specifically as it relates to those contending with a concussive injury.

@@calgaryconcussionawareness5944 Thanks! I understand, and did read and acknowledge all info you provided. My question was in regard to what is mentioned in the video. While the info does initially mention signs and symptoms of overactive vagus nerve, the rest of the video seems to pertain only to underactive, including the results of the research. So, I'm not asking you to diagnose me and give me a prognosis. I'm aware that is my responsibility to seek out. My question is to clarify what is not mentioned in the video: did the research find that vagus nerve stimulation helps both overactive and underactive? Or simply underactive, as more specifically focused on in this video? Thanks!

@@ToniAnnBarandon Yes, that is correct---all the research we came across refers to an underactive vagus nerve. Very little info about overactive (other than what was mentioned in our presentation). However, after some digging, came across this info you may find helpful: "Vagus nerve disorders arise when the nerve is either under- or overactive. An underactive vagus nerve results in a drop in the heart rate and severe gastrointestinal problems, nausea, heartburn, stomach pains, stomach spasms and weight loss because the digestive system lacks the chemicals it needs to break down food. An overactive vagus nerve can result in fainting. Energy balancing can be used as a treatment of under- and overactive vagus nerve disorders. SOURCE: www.drannedeatly.com/blog/stress-and-the-vagus-nerve/ And this: "Most people will experience a vasovagal response due to a stressor or overstimulation of the vagus nerve at some point. Blood pressure lowers, heart rate slows, and the blood vessels in your legs widen, which can cause nausea or fainting. This is a generally harmless response which goes away on its own, however, some people who experience it more chronically may need to seek medical help." SOURCE: zenfounder.com/managing-stress/hacking-the-system-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-vagus-nerve/ Hope this helps give you some direction, but clearly no definitive answer/proof if the methods used to stimulate an underactive vagus nerve is also useful for an overactive one. Other than seeking the help of practitioners in energy work, breathing techniques and emotional health are implied to be helpful for both.

@@calgaryconcussionawareness5944 Thanks for the info and the source. I keep finding the same info, as well. I'm working with an acupuncturist and a craniosacral therapist. Both seem to think the process of healing is the same for both. We shall see. Thanks!

​@@ToniAnnBarandon Good to hear from a take charge, well informed person learning all they can to understand and improve their own health. We wish you continued progress in your wellness.

Thank you for taking the time to subscribe and to comment - greatly appreciated. We wish you well with continued health now with better understanding of these delicate bodily functions.

As outlined in the presentation, it would be best to seek help from a qualified trauma therapist who has a good understanding of the Polyvagal Theory, in addition to ensuring a holistic approach that will also address dietary triggers.

I have similar issues with severe migraines

You chose to be in the army. We didn’t choose to be born. A child is defenseless.

You really are an idiot.

@@bri3449 warrior also means someone who is fighting. Not just a soldier. I am a disabled veteran with C-PTSD with lots of anxiety.

@@barbarabascom259 Sure, but if someone wants to be rude and ignorant they can receive that energy right back.

@@bri3449 bri: explain more, please??

Thank you - we are glad to hear you found our video most helpful.

Thank you for your comments Glyn - greatly appreciated - yes very little knowledge out there for what we're dealing with in regards to living with brain injuries - that is why we started up Calgary Concussion Awareness & Support - as an informational platform - to help educate ourselves about what a concussion / brain injury really is and how we can find ways to cope better & help lessen the symptoms & effects that are impacting our daily living and long-term health implications.
