In December 2021, I started having bad pain in my upper back, shoulder muscles, heart palpitations, not being able to digest food, constipation, itchy skin, rash on my face, high blood pressure, anxiety etc…. I started searching for answers and went to a gastroenterologist. My testing came back fine. I kept looking for answers and came across the videos from Caring Medical. I had cervical neck problems from a car accident around 2016. So I went to A doctor in my town to get it checked. I have been going to a chiropractor for years and have been living with the pain and headaches. I got my first treatment of Pyrotherapy. Wow, it made a big difference. Headaches are gone, pain reduced to about 75%, heart palpitations gone, rash on face reduced 80%, anxiety reduced about 60%, itching reduced about 40%, food sensitivities is way better. I take digestive enzymes and Hydrochloric Acid to help with my digestive sluggishness. I only take them with larger meals so that I can train my body to work on its own. Also, when I eat, I lay on my back and stretch my body and I can hear my stomach start to move with gurgling sounds. This is my first time writing about my process. I usually just read and get information but I feel that if I am healing, that I should share it. It’s been about 5 weeks since I had the procedure done. Healing energy to you all 🥰
Does pyrotherapy shorten overstretched or torn ligaments ? If so I would like to try this. It's amazing how oesophageal or stomach problems can cause severe back pain ( upper and lower) but they do I recently spoke to an extremely proficient consultant GI specialist and he told me of a variety of problems this can cause Particularly Functional neurological disorder ( used to be called conversion neurosis before they realised it was not purely psychosomatic and is probably a physical ideopathic condition ie the cause is not understood). Personally I believe the use of the new vaccine technology may have played a part in the increase of diagnosed FND An A&E nurse in the UK told me that he was willing to lose his career not taking these vaccines because he has seen too many people coming in with unusual neurological symptoms after taking them
All of your symptoms are from deficiency of stomach acid. You can take zinc , Iodine, so the stomach get able to make stomach acid. The doctors, misunderstand . They think because you have not acid. They make IT worse by pills. If you der you tube video from Dr Berg about, stomach acid deficiency symptoms, you find out that All tour symptoms are because og that. Hej has a pill with 50% ACV Apple cider vinegar and 50% Hydroclorid acid. But if sine ind has Ulcer, or stomach inflammation, you midt ude first zinc carnosine for ligning og the stomach.
Me TOO !!!!! 5-G Cell phone radiation poisoning for I have exactly the same thing as you !!!! Put the phone and computer down for 8 days and watch the change in how you feel my friend. 👍
I can not say how much this video has given me hope. I am literally in tears right now. I have been fighting and struggling so much with so many of the symptoms you have described for years. I have seen cardiologist, gastroenterologist, Neurologist, and many others along with so much testing including brain and cervical MRI's (which left out C1 evaluation) and still nothing. The heart palpitations, food getting stuck, bloating, cant swallow even water, scared to eat, pain in my neck, loss of hearing when I look up, dizziness, panic attacks and anxiety when I have never had them before, temperature regulation issues, numbness and tingling in my face, left arm, left hand, and so many more. The rash on my face is so embarrassing that I barely leave the house anymore. My fear of going floating that I might have an episode of feeling bad and dizzy with a headache and neck pain so strong that I don't want to do anything anymore. I was a welder for 20 years and have been told by several doctors and chiropractors that my neck is all messed up from the constant trauma from the weight of the hood and flicking my head to drop my hood. Several have told me that I have sever whiplash when I have never been in a car wreck. Without all of this, some how none if them managed to put it all together. I found your videos and am so excited to set a DR.s appointment tomorrow to talk with my PMC Dr. that i am taking notes. Thank you so much I am now excited for tomorrow for once.
That is so awesome to hear - this is why we have this channel! We are praying for you as you go into your appointment tomorrow, the God may guide the doctors and you are heard!
I'm excited too! I'm a nurse, I haven't worked in 4 years. I was hoping to go back at the start of the new year, but my symptoms are rapidly increasing, and there's no way I can work until this is taken care of
This is totally me since a car accident in 2019 that injured my neck even worse than it already was from a separate car accident in 2016 and from delivering mail for 30 years. I HAVE to find a doctor like this in my area and if not it would be well worth the money to take a trip to see Dr. Hauser. This man is truly amazing and explains things in such a manner that you can understand.
😳 WOW 😳 it took 6 1/2 years for my rare form of Achalasia of the lower esophagus to be properly diagnosed..and I have a pinched nerve in my neck! .I went to 8 different hospitals in California and Texas, and everyone had a different their of why my food wouldn't go or stay down. When I had my first endoscopy, they saw that the bottom of my esophagus was almost closed shut and my sphincter muscle above my stomach was in a constant spasm...so they "dilated" them both by putting a balloon inside and blowing it up until they stretched enough for food to pass......it only gave me relief for 3 weeks until everything started closing up again...then I needed another one ........I had 53 of them total😵💫 I literally hold the record for the most endoscopies with dilation done on one person at the hospital who eventually did my surgery💯 it's CRAZY! Unfortunately, my local VA was the ones taking care of me.....they said surgery wasn't an option, so I would just have to accept my quality of life😓 and keep getting my insides torn open every 3 weeks. ....I finally got private insurance and went to another hospital, I was in surgery the next week! They said the VA tried to kill me! No one should have 53 of ANY procedure 😡 they also said my insides were full of scar tissue and looked like they belonged to a 65 year old from them ripping me open every 3 weeks😡 the surgery I had was called a heller myotomy with a fundoplication Nissan wrap.......it literally saved my life because I was on the verge of starving to death💯 my older cousin wasn't so fortunate and she passed away from the same symptoms that I had😓moral of the story my brothers and sisters is to never give up hope, and don't take some smart, dumb azz doctor's word as law💯 stay safe out there🤗
Wow shits starting get discouraging when reading about what the VA is doing to us ... I don't have any stomach issues directly thank God however my story is much similar to include the VA... long story short I'm 36 after the VA literally made me suffer until I achieved bone on bone arthritis at age 32 following my 10yrs of service in Army 3 of which was the cradle to my final enlistment. I just could not take the pain anymore and did not reenlist at e6 at 30 yo 😕.. turns out both of my shoulders are in a state of endstage arthritis one of which is a prosthetic bc the VA waited until I damn near groveled for the procedure when i hit bone on bone. Following the surgery I've had a myriad of odd nerve like symptoms all up my ulnar and median pathways I was told to have my spine fused back in 2017 by VA when I went to get second opinion upon my return to schedule the procedure seems the doctor who recommended took it personal that I wanted some reassurance before a fusion, and went on to essentially defame me in his notes on my record and cited my recreational use of Mariijuana following my visit to CA after getting out Army from a decade of service 😮💨🤷♂️🤷♂️...to him a reason to recommend removal of my pain medication which apparently is something that has held strong to this day... Anywho the doctor who originally recommended fusion disappeared never responded to me and my pcp ignored my calls to telecare and er visits in agonizing pain and prescribed ibuprofen 30 days following any such cry for help. Reason I bring up fusion is that the location where my spine is herniated C5-C6 and C7- T 1 are where the nerve roots are for the muscles innervated by those nerves which are the shoulder, neck and arm 🤔 which likely explains my inability to abduct my shoulder on the side my spine has deviated from 5 yr old herniation that the VA has full knowledge of. I kicked and screamed to community doctors as well as VA docs I have lost many well paying jobs bc of my disability which in my stubbornness I continued to accept offers and move to the work location for the sake of the career prospects which unfortunately all crumbled away in my hands... every job ended in medical leave until I either resigned or was let go. I say all that to say that I just saw my 6th orthopedic now in OR who finally agrees with what I've been saying the entire time clear and blatant nerve damage via contact of my cervical/thoracic herniated disc's with my spinal cord specifically the ventral cord as was listed in an mri I found from VA dated 6yrs ago where they clearly identified and notated it but did no active intervention to alleviate me of what now has literally become one of the most knee buckling crosses that I've had to bare I don't usually fuss much but smh thus has amounted to unnecessary hardship and debilitating of an otherwise healthy young man and by golly heads will be a Rollin' once my health is fixed I will focus on the litigation process and the list of negligent providers that as you said "tried to kill me"
OMG! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.. MY DOCS HATE THST I READ AND STUDY. AND DIDNT GO FOR THEIR DX. IVE SCREEN SHOT YOUR COMMENT, AS THEY ARE TRYING TO GET ME TO GET DOWN THE GASTRO REFLUX ROAD.. AND IM FIGHTING IT ALL THE WAY. I have to start with a gastro appt in June, and bringing all this with me. I have a vagus nerve canal spur and reverse curve. They are 🚫 t connecting with this gastro that ng the started last after another fall two years ago. And had to give ght for another MRI, then caught to have it sent to be looked at again to feed nd other deterioration s. But you know we'll. They want to put you on a table fir money or some new doctors first unassisted surgery. It's only been bugging me for about 7 months on a regular.. but kudos to you for all that time. Your experience was not in vain.. you gave me the terminology I need to protest when they try to say it's that. It's going to save me all you went through. Thank You for your service! And thank you for continuing to follow your gut! Literally and figuratively!
I would highly suggest you find a trained chiropractor that SPECIFICALLY does NUCCA adjustments for relieving that pinched nerve. NUCCA adjustments helped me tremendously pop my left hip back into place. Then practice Tai Chi to get the energy flowing properly.
Just Wow. You may not see this. You are so right about dumb ass, money hungry, treat us like cattle doctors. I just keep getting weaker. I text to tell you I was born with My esophagus growing into my lung. A nurse in nursery saved my life and and an expert surgeon in Syracuse NY. In 1959. First 12 ,yrs I choked on meat. Getting caught and learning how to relax and push it down. A miracle. I still am careful with meat. Very thankful and blessed with loving parents. I was their first child. Life sure is stressfully making is all stronger. Warriors of God and miracles. With wisdom in our years!
My problems started in the 90's with severe coughing attacks which kept getting worse with having laryngospasms. I had barium swallow tests, mobility function test and had to wear a acid monitor home for 24 hours, which showed I have mobility swallowing problems. I had a Nession Fundoplication surgery, hiatal surgery and put on omeprazole that was in early 2000's .I've had Mri's and Eeg's of my brain, Finally a neurologist doing every test he could think of diagnosed me with vagus nerve damage. I have a military neck (no neck curvature) seeing a chiropractor still for that and back and hip issues. I had a scope done last year 2021 and had my esophagus stretched for swallowing issues. Now I'm seeing a lung dr for breathing issues feels like someone has their hand around my throat squeezing my wind pipe, been diagnosed with dysphagia, seems like I asperate everything into my lungs, now I have copd, emphysema. I wish I could find out if a vagus nerve could be healed or fixed, I been living with this for so long, I'm tired of suffering from everything and it all started from a cough that wouldn't go away One dr I seen even told me I have had a cold for 15 years. smh... I hope everyone having issues with this finds there cure, bless you all
Wow, Candy. I'm so sorry to hear all of this because you described my experience almost exactly. It seems as though most of my problems that have wound me up on full disability are actually from vagus nerve damage. I hope to find relief soon but these stupid arrogant doctors won't run certain tests alwhile not knowing what to do themselves. I currently live in South Florida. I don't know how I would get to this doctor. What at your plans moving forward?
@@hitzoneproductions7858 I'm so sorry you are going through this as well. I have run out of all options I guess I also am on disibility fought for it for 5 years before finally getting It last year. I also have Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia I have a RH doctor and in pain management the meds get me through everyday, for some reason the pain meds calm down the coughing attacks and throat issues, sometimes I feel like I'm swallowing rocks Instead of food It can be so painful. I'm almost 57 years old now I'm so tired of dr's, as long as nothing gets worse I think I will maintain for now and try to get my body to work again with my back issues and twisted hips I only go out to go to the dr's the pain is unbearable when I walk around so sitting has led me here, If you don't use it you lose it they say, Its so true for me If you can stay active do so the muscle weakness loss of muscle tone Is real. If it wasn't for hand rails on steps I couldn't get up them my legs don't have the strength to climb them thank god I still have strength In my arms to pull me up something else now I have to work on. I so hope you will find a solution to help you.. God Bless
I am so sorry for what you're experiencing. I empathize w/ you I myself because I've struggled w/ a serious eating disorder on & off Since I was 15. I just turned 40 & I've been thru hell w/ digestive & esophageal problems. My swallowing issues & non-stop reflux has made recovery almost impossible. I used to go to a support group that has a woman who had to go get her esophagus stretched & I was 20 @ the time it scared me.
@@Taureanfitness sorry you are going through this as well. Esophageal and digestive problems is a horrible thing to live with I still have those issues, having food in my stomach seems to calm the reflux down, an empty stomach seems to make my stomach feel raw and reflux worse, I know to most it sounds crazy but with me its true I have weight issues myself. Having your esophagus stretched is kinda scary but mostly painless procedure, and it was for me. I hope you find relief
All of your symptoms are from deficiency of stomach acid. You can take zinc , Iodine, so the stomach get able to make stomach acid. The doctors, misunderstand . They think because you have not acid.

I was diagnosed with Achalasia in 2016. A doctor in 2013 misdiagnosed me with GERD. You're the first doctor that I've seen that related Achalasia with the vagus nerve. I've never heard of gastroparesis, but I think I have that as well. This is incredibly helpful information.
Hi, I am recently diagnosed with achalasia after draling with all the symptoms for 10 years. Lots of ER visits lots of different doctors... How are you?
I always wondered if I had a stroke in my vagel nerve. I had a strange headache I think started from damage to my vagus nerve and have been having trouble ever since.
The structure of the cervical spine is important. Unfortunately this Medical Doctor would never recommend Chiropractic care . Chiropractic care can restore the cervical curve and thus aid in Vagus nerve function.😊
Omg this is exactly what is going on with me! I have severe spinal stenosis at c5-6. I've been having heart tachycardia and almost pass out daily. I struggling to swallow can't digest food constant hiccups severe anxiety etc...I think you may have just saved my life with this video. Thank you.
This man is a treasure, everyone acts like im insane because this is all the problems i have since a pop lifting weights that changed my neck, I been trying to get to the root for almost a decade. The struggle continues but you have given a ray of light
Great video. My Vagas nerve was damaged from lyme disease in my nervous system. I quickly went from a healthy, athletic person before lyme to heart fluttering, couldn't eat anything without pain, intestinal spasms, couldn't breathe like I was suffocating 24/7, i got tinnitus, unrelenting fatigue, eye problems.My head was jutting forward and my chiropractor didnt know why. Also when he maniplated my neck my left side would intestinal area would spasm violently. Gastro Doctor didn't believe me and actually laughed at me. I did my own research and quickly knew it was vagas/phrenic nerve related. I had a head injury also at 7 i am sure has added to the damage. I THANK YOU so much for this work!
Hey man I absolutely recommend you watch this video of a physical therapist who discusses how to improve all these symptoms because of the bad posture we have. I was beginning to go through this issues really severaly because of my bad posture that was creating a pigeon breast deformity but physical therapy has improved my life so much. I really hope this can help like it's it's helping me.
I cannot believe I have never heard of this. I was diagnosed with GERD 35 years ago; now it's hiatal hernia, gastric migraines, and cyclic vomiting disorder. I've gone from 126 lbs to 101 lbs in 6 months, and I'm 5'2". I have 2 dislocated cervical bones, 2 herniated cervical disc's and a benign tumor above them. They attribute all of my problems to the vagus nerve but offer me no treatment but dry needling to be able to move my neck, and Zofran TID for vomiting, and of course pain management. I've been vomiting for two days, and yet when they do a scope they say, Oh nothing serious. Yes, except I'm disappearing and if this keeps up I'll be dead from anorexia( as in lack of appetite), vomiting, dehydration, malnutrition, and organ failure. Your video makes me think maybe there is hope, because frankly I've been getting my affairs in order.
I feel you. I have experienced a similar issue with my health and my neck. I have herniated disc in my neck, along with cervical dysstructure. I think it's what is affecting my health. If what he is saying is true then I may have Achalasia . I have a lot of those symptoms, especially anxiety,headaches and nausea. Lost weight and falling apart. Working on getting this issue resolved. I wish you the best on your healing journey. Don't give up! 💪😎💙
@@Rob__James Honestly, worse. ( not to sound dramatic). My new neurologist tells me I have partial paralysis of my eye muscles. I fell down the stairs and am still healing. Partial paralysis in my legs. Sigh. I'm pretty much stuck in the house outside of Dr. Appointments. I live on the second floor, and my husband has banned me from the stairs. I read a lot.
YOU'RE an AMAZING Dr. Thank you for showing us your Vagus Nerve video. The older ARMY Drs knew a HELL of alot more than these young Drs today!! Years ago I was very ill and I had horrible stomach pain for about a week my grandmother took me to our family Dr. who used to be an Army Dr. She told him about my symptoms and asked him if I had a terrible ulcer and he instantly knew what was wrong with me. He said that I have H. PYLORI BACTERIA. He gave me one shot of Penicillin. He said H. PYLORI IS CAUSED BY A BACTERIA and a shot of Penicillin will get rid of it. He was right and when I got home my symptoms were gone. Recently my grandson had the same symptoms and I told his parents that his symptoms were exactly like mine years ago I said he has that H.PYLORI BACTERIA but they decided to take him to a prestigious hospital where the YOUNG Drs examined him, then they did all kinds of tests, gave him different meds but his symptoms persisted. He said he can't take this pain anymore. So I called his mom and I told her that he's got the same symptoms that I had years ago and I was the same age as he is now when I was ill I said it was my family Dr who knew instantly what I had when my grandmother told him my symptoms. I said at least tell the Dr what I had and what my Dr said it was and he gave me a shot of Penicillin because it's the only MED that can STOP that bacteria so she told this to her family Dr and he listened and gave my grandson the penicillin and it got rid of the H.PYLORI BACTERIA INSTANTLY.
Stanley Wheeler Thank you for sharing your history. Many of us have been ill for most of our lives. I think many of the doctors have HUGE school loans. They come out of school excited and bright eyed only to run up against the Associations for their specialties. Also Big Pharma I believe is threatening them with taking away their license and ability to work. It shows they are all in bed together with each state licensing board. Did they ever tell us that the recent mandatory prick hadn’t really been tested? Or how many died from the treatment or are now permanently disabled? Now they are pushing this and hormone blockers to little children. I bet have of these parents don’t have a clue what is happening. Everyone needs to do their own homework, don’t just accept the first diagnosis or treatment. Thank you Doctor for sharing this info. Your video’s have helped me a lot. I’ve always had a kinda sickly life, no diagnosis but I always felt sore, tired etc… All of the video’s I could relate to but I’ve never received the diagnosis for each. One of my problems after 5 cervical fusions with instrumentation is my spine is being absorbed, 1/2 of all the cervical bones are gone, shown on the lateral view front to back. I’m a disabled Radiologic Tech. My esophagus looks collapsed and I frequency choke on my own saliva and food. I live on chicken soup and ice cream, the easiest for me to swallow. You have been a GOD send to a lot of us. I was told in 1997 that I have an extremely rare disease/disorder that causes clots and it’s always fatal. At the time I was so Ill I said I didn’t want to know any more except how long. He said most have 2 years but everyone is different. Well I’m still here but I don’t have any quality of life and most time wish it would just be over. I hope others try hard and follow his video’s. If it sounds like you at least you’ll have a starting point. Personally In my opinion we have been given diseases in our vaccines and medicine. Although you’d be hard pressed to find someone to tell you. I worked for an incredible Radiologist ( a Dr. that specializes in medical imaging and diagnosis). He told a class of college students learning about diseases and disorders that most of the awful diseases were deliberately given to us. Many Fauci’s before the one we know.
Wow, a brilliant presentation! My son was diagnosed with achalasia some years ago and after copious visits to doctors and hospitals. He was told by his GP that he was a ‘conundrum’ , I think it was suggested he might be anorexic, he lost so much weight and muscle mass, it was heartbreaking. The UK doctors didn’t know what to do with him.😢 He was given a hellos myotome, with a fundoplication wrap, he was ill for months! Moving on and some years later, he has frequent short hospital stays every few months, because he starts trying to vomit. They give him anti-sickness meds, a morphine drip for pain, saline and blood works. Stress is a massive trigger, he has not been ‘right’ since, So little information is available on this subject, I thank you for this, I wish we had known more before he had the op. Prior to the op, they used a balloon, post major op he has had follow up ops and medical procedures. He drinks water every time he eats to push the food through, he used to love his food. All this kicked off with a campylobacter infection contracted while he was working on the cruise ships. 😢
Oh.poor lad!!!! Hoping he gets some decent help. I'm the same. So now I know what ,maybe to do??? I have A.S. Terrible and painful!!! Now only eat soups. Thank you and GOD BLESS!!!!!!!
@@josephineedeeth.trowbridge8968 bless you also. It really is a terrible illness and people have no idea or understanding of the pain, discomfort when eating. When you you try to explain a lot of them switch off!
Koala hugs to you. We were forced to learn about our disabilities (my son and I) after multiple injuries, enormous amount of abuse and neglect and failure to act. Also being ignored and there is nothing we can do for you, now go away and leave us alone. My son and I learnt about our disabilities, including how to heal and by miracle received remission. My son has been waiting for an operation now for over 11 years. But we knew he needed this since he was a child. We don't give up, and bit by bit the doctors have become informed and waiting makes them want to do it safely. I am watching this vid learning about my neck and as a result become informed and aware of these conditions.
I believe my mother had this she suffered for the past ten years of her life . She never had the barium test . But she couldn't hardly swallow food . She past in Dec . I know this is what she had !! All of the symptoms. Especially the food sticking then throwing up . She had two steel doors fall on her head in a factory . Back in 1980 she never was treated or even looked at!!! About ten years ago they did extras of her kneck seen all the damage. But too old to do anything about it . This makes me sick.knowing this is what she had ..
Same for me my partner of 47 years passed on 14/1 /2022 , he could not eat, kept retching and vomiting, he had bypass surgery to cure diabetes, which it did but I think the surgeon damaged his vagus nerve or something, because these were his exact symptoms.
I learn so much listening to you today. I have had a acalasia since I was about 26 yrs old. I am now 78 yrs old. I have had all the signs and symptoms you described. I have a Gastroenterologist who follows me. I even had surgery years ago which helped a bit. My cardiologist thinks I have a cardiac problem, they will not address the achalasia. Thanks so much for this. You are spot on. You perfectly explained everything that is happening to me.
WOW!!! In 1997 my ex-husband drove us into a 5 vehicle car accident and my seat belt did not hold me so I bounced all over the place inside the car. I had severe whiplash plus damage to my lower spine. Then my ex walked out on me and stole everything I had. In 2012/13 my neck "went out" as I was trying to unpack my stuff in my new apartment. It was so bad that every tiny, little motion made me scream in pain. I was put on methadone for pain which caused even MORE problems for my body. I tried and tried and tried to get help with all the snowballing effect of health issues. I have trouble eating anything solid as it feels like it gets stuck along the way. The pain IS excruciating at times. I often have acid reflux at which point swallowing several glasses of cold water only helps. I often vomit for no reason for several days in a row. I just lost 50 pounds from not eating. My blood sugars have gone out of the normal range for no reason. I have awful anxiety a lot of the time but they keep pushing me to get counselling or to make me go on anti-depressants & to tell them what I was thinking when it hit but they WILL NOT believe me when I tell them the truth. I often wake up at night in a full blown anxiety attack and now fear sleeping. I consume mostly yogurt or foods of that nature since foods like meat or hard foods create terrible pain and feels like it is stuck. My heart began, more recently, having palpitations and sometimes have gone up to 180 beats per minute but will not come down to a normal rate. They said in Emergency that I have A-Fib although there were no tests done. I began having high blood pressure issues a few years ago. What I am saying is that I have had almost everything in the way of symptoms you have mentioned and there are a lot of symptoms I get that I have not put in here either. I doubt that doctors where I live even KNOW what Achalasia is!! Re: that car accident in 1997 resulted in severe nerve pain in my butt area especially on the left side. It took them 15 YEARS to diagnose that. Fifteen YEARS of being accused of looking for drugs, looking for attention, looking for a way to get out of working - accusation after accusation after accusation to FINALLY have someone who KNEW how to operate a CT SCAN caught the problem. I had Piriformis Syndrome that I fixed myself within 3 days of mild stretches and exercises. THIS IS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. I am in Canada and we have the worst health care there is - I can not get the help I need. I am going to copy the web address for my doctor and tell her to go home and watch your video. MAYBE THEN I will get some help finally!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Julia. Same story. Stick to your. BELIEF S. this. Being passed of as MENTAL issue. .SHOW this VIDEO. To them. I. Have been ill for years with this. And labelled. MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. I'm up for a 2nd nissian funucation. Ummm. Sores all over body. Anxiety. Weight loss. Public. Family. Think it Self infected. So I walked away. And live my life. My way.
My esophagus gave me so much trouble after we moved to Michigan. Environmental allergies combined with seasonal allergies plus a diminished immune system were blamed. A nurse practionisher told me I had a wheat allergy. I adjusted my eating habits toward nonglucose ingredients. OMG. Big difference, my body responded so quickly to my new diet. Most everything tastes like cardboard, i could care less I feel so much better.
Sympathy for you. I have swallowing problems and coughing for years. ( some copd). I am 78 in the UK. Your problems are much worse than mine but recently I tried Apple cider vinegar, with a little water or juice as body pH level can cause some of this. I cannot clean teeth without immediate coughing and foaming, even with just water. I cough about 10 mins.after eating certain foods. I am seeing some improvement. Just a thought for you.
It takes time. Aerobic exercise, chiropractic work, rolfing, professional massage (I’d also buy a massage gun), traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture, cupping, herbal tea), and possibly Vagus Nerve Stimulation (via device) if it is causing serious anxiety/depression. I’d try to get to the root cause by developing a stack of tools at home and in your community that can really give you a sense of what is going on inside your body. Use Western medicine for imagery and medication and if you are really out of wack in the beginning but I would wean off of it eventually. You have to be seriously dedicated to getting your body back, or truly inhabiting it for the very first time. Cut out alcohol and other bad habits as well, if you can’t keep them in moderation. Easier if you just stop them altogether. Be patient with yourself. And please know, there is hope :)
Wonderful explanation to the common man, of how important the neck and proper alignment and posture is to the upright human.. Enjoyed this a lot Thank you for the time common man
I HAVE ACHALASIA! I HAVE ACHALASIA! I HAVE ACHALASIA! I was diagnosed at age 23. So glad you made this video. I've come up with my own theories why I came down with this disease. Thank YOU.
Wait, wait. You mean I've been struggling with a whole bunch of these things for years and they might all be linked?? I'm going in for a consultation in a few weeks, but if they sound like eveyone else who has looked at me ("everything looks fine, must be something mental" or "just stop gulping your food", etc) ypu better believe I'm going to do what I can to go see this Dr!
Thank you so much for this information. As someone who developed Gerd and severe esophageal spasms three years ago, this information pertaining to the cervical spine is truly priceless. Thank you thank you thank you!
Doctor, I also would be interested in seeing a video on the vagus nerve as it relates to heart palpitations and further connections to feeling like food or even drinks are “stretching” esophagus and then when pounding rapid palpitations would follow.
I m so happy I found this video. Around a year ago I started to get quite bad vertigo. The room was literally spinning, alongside tinnitus. The vertigo subsided, but I now have a dull ache in the back of my neck which seems to be quite high up. The tinnitus continues off and on but I’m now getting these bouts of anxiety and panic and nausea. I quite often feel sick. I have acid reflux, diarrhoea, heart palpitations., sometimes sudden shortness of breathe and lately insomnia. My doctor said I’m suffering from stress. Despite telling them that I have very little stress in my life, that’s their diagnosis. I’m so relieved that i didn’t accept their diagnosis and kept looking for answers.
Ok. I’m learning more from you than from all the docs I’ve been to. They do tests after test. Things just don’t work right anymore. You’ve got SLE. The end. Now I’m kind of understanding more about how all this is connected and why things have happened. I’m going to listen to more of your videos. Thank you.
I am a c5 quadriplegic as of 3 years now and I suffer so much from chronic pain and I get shock like sensation throughout my neck and makes me feel like I could die.. It’s very detrimental to my daily life. I wish I could make the pain go away.
Praying for you Martin. Have you heard of Joni Erickson Tada? She’s a quad who also suffers from terrible chronic pain… I believe you would be encouraged by her videos … 🙏
Yup, Atlas, axis, occipital dysfunction..... @Caring Medical Dr. Hauser, please do a video with a long amount of content on treatments for these syndromes. ie the services that you offer to restore neck structure, mobility, lordosis, etc. Or separate short videos for each process. Thx!
For the ones who suffer of a slight vagal dysfunction (a bit of Titinitus ringing sometimes, gastro reflux, tachycardia, shortness of breath for ex) or a cervical / neck issue causing Migraine (migraine as a sciatica of the neck so to speak) I would like to recommend a book for practical self-care: Autor Stanley Rosenberg, rolfer, cranian osteopath, american having a clinic in Dänemark Title "Accessing the Healing power of the Vagus Nerve" Self-help exercises. They consist mainly of postures of the head, its motion, and self-Massage of the ligaments in the occipital region For slight dysfunction it might be a good ressource..
My mind is blown! I've been dealing with most of these things for so long with no idea why and figured they were related but mountains of drs couldn't figure out anything. ACDF when I was about halfway through all my current diagnoses but was from a car accident. Sphincter of Oddi is debilitating. I am TERRIFIED of eating. I can't wait to show this to my GI dr. I've never been so floored by a video on youtube! Thank you for sharing this information!
Only one out of one hundred thousand people get achalasia I was diagnosed with it last month at Cleveland clinic :( I vomit generally at least 2 to 3 times a day
Thank you for the wonderful video. I have achalasia and I’m going to have a surgery and this was such a delight to know a little bit more of the anatomy and history. You are a great physician
I was diagnosed several yrs ago w degeneration of discs in my neck c5,6,7. It's now gone to total spinal degeration. Recently started having hard time swallowing and digestion has been bad w Gerd. Getting old sucks. Thank you for the info I will now go do the research.
How are things today? Just turned 61 and I agree. Experienced my 1st 24 hours of continuous achalasia due to a pinched nerve in C5/C6 disc. Reaching out to anyone with similar situation. Thanks
Wow! Thank you for what you do. I was part of the 11% of people who get GBS( Guillain-Barré Syndrome ) that go on to have residual issues and permanent debilitating damage. And so I could sit here and cry because when it came on I truly believe I experienced a form of whiplash. I collapsed like an accordion straight to the ground. And I went to a chiropractor who said without a doubt that I had a subluxation. This was after having spent 4 days in the ICU and 6 weeks with PT and OT. My PT person tried desperately to get 12 more weeks approved because my core needed to be strengthened. I've always had problems with swallowing since then which I thought was something to do with the throat muscle. I can't make saliva which is a side note. But more importantly flash forward 20 years and that subluxation is still there with swelling and migraines, and yes I don't eat well and I have things that get stuck in my throat. Right now I would pay a million dollars to sit and have a conversation with you. 🤔
Hi Nancy, Thank you for sharing and your kind words. So sorry to hear what you have been through and your residual issues. If you feel that you would potentially like to come to our center, you're welcome to reach out to us directly and we can review your case in more detail. Wishing you all the best in health! Take care.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I appreciate your invitation. I will work on composing a statement that encompasses my experience in a nutshell. Because God knows I've been known to ramble on and your time is valuable. lol ugh! , I appreciate any information that I can extract from such a chill, intelligent open-minded person. I realize I may not speak with you in person, but I am hopeful that the experience of visiting your institution will be inspiring. It is coincidental that some friends of ours just moved to Florida. I am up here in cold stuffy New England. So it would take some arranging for me to get down there for at least one visit. I am desperate to make the most of this next phase of my life. Thank you for what you do!!!
I had a posterior cervical fusion c-1 c-7 about 4 years ago in July .. when they got in there to see what was wrong with the cord, besides the stenosis they found on mri.. a bone spur grew over my cord and smashed it flat as a pancake the dr said .. after I remove the aspen brace my head falls foreword and I’m often walking around looking at the ground and need to lay back a little vs sitting up .. I was not told this could happen .. it’s uncomfortable and painful to try to hold my head up.. So what I did on my own was ordered a cervical posture brace .. I got the one that has the addition of straps that secure around the ribs.. this way I have the option of using them or not but still having the straps around the shoulders .. since I started using the posture brace, I have slowly been able to reduce the head falling foreword.. it’s helped me to improve posture and reduce pain from holding my head up in my neck, shoulders and spine.. I’ve also been able to eat and take fluids better..this worked for me and I only need to use the brace intermittently now.. having the posterior cervical fusion was the worst experience in my life and I’ll be dealing with it forever.. no one told me my head could fall foreword or how to deal with it and the pain associated with it if I experienced this.. the cervical posture brace has helped tremendously for me.. I’m glad I bought it..
Wished I hadn't, but I did have a cervical fusion one year and a couple months ago and am having trouble swallowing and front neck pain too. I don't think they can undo this operation and take out the hardware, but during the operation I went into AFIB twice. Possibly due to damage of the vagus nerve. Hopefully surgical procedures will be much different in the future.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PUT THIS OUT THERE!! I was just diagnosed with Achalasia and was concerned about the surgical options. But I do have neck issues, so I will be looking this approach. 🙏🙏
I am so impressed by this doctor 😊I am afraid we do not have such an expert in Australia. I am having a lot of pain and would be happy to go to such a doctor
unfortunately we hear this from a lot of individuals from AUS - it is great that you are looking into alternative, we hope you find the care you need and are praying for your healing!
My daughter has achalasia at 12 due to EDS comorbidity. We likely inherited my dad's genes, who has frenic nerve compromise and had hiccups which caused several heart attacks before he passed. We need to address CPTSD and compromised vagus nerve. Refer to Dr. Andrew Maxwell's video from last year's EDS conference addressing the autonomic nervous system issues and how innervation problems including gastroparesis/achalasia are part of what he calls the Pentad. My POTS (tachycardia) requires cervical neck brace a few hours a day.
I've done my own study on this subject and can say with extreme confidence that the whole problem revolves around an arthritic sternum. When young and in good health we wildly neglect our inner health...we let it take care of itself but by our wild behaviour the flow of hormones, bilirubin, cerebrospinal fluid all take a hit. This fluid does a number of important things...it lubricates all sphincters within us...even the replicating living cell is a sphincter...but it also clears out salts which congest just about everywhere within us. It's early days yet but the science is most encouraging. It is a righteous science which I got from the Holy Bible.
@@aicy5020 I only know because I've managed to get some bilirubin back in my sternum and within days felt the apparatus beneath the menubrium saying thank you. It's early days yet but I'm very hopeful.
This explains everything! However when I mentioned it to my physician he told me that it probably wasn’t the issue… I just had an endoscopy to rule anything else out. This just makes sense!
12 mins into this video and you have explained pretty much everything I have been experiencing. I have been having digestive issues for a few years (GERD and chronic constipation) and in the last 2-4 years my anxiety has spiraled out of control (frequent panic attacks and disassociation). I have had two ulcers now from taking too much motrin for over a decade. I was taking the motrin because of neck, upper back, and right shoulder pain. Physical therapy didn't help my neck, but dry needling (basically acupuncture) helped my upper back and shoulder for about 2 months, but it is starting to hurt again. I have to prop my arm across a pillow at night or it will be so numb in the morning that it is useless for a few minutes until the blood starts flowing again. If I don't prop my leg, my hips become extremely sore. Physical Therapy sent me to orthopedics and they took an x-ray of my neck which shows degenerative disc disease with moderate loss of disc space and "moderate anterior as well as posterior osteophyte formation at C5-C6..." and a lot of other scary sounding terms. I'm not a doctor so I don't understand more than what google tells me about these terms, but it doesn't sound good. I have an appointment for an MRI this week so they can see what is going on with my neck better because at this point, it was suggested that I might need neck injections for the pain. I saw a few links online while looking for the terms from the x-ray read out and came across something about cervical spondylosis (which is also listed in the x-ray) and mood disorders. Then I saw the stuff about digestive issues and numbness in the arms. I had no idea that neck problems can cause anxiety issues. My psychiatrist has been confused because while I have had anxiety for a long time, it has never got to the point where it has become this disabling even in worse situations. I can barely leave my house anymore and I've started having binge eating issues tied to my anxiety. It would be wild to me if it turns out all of my problems are actually being caused by the pain my neck, but all the things I have been reading seem to match up with every issue I have been having, some of them I haven't even told the doctors about because I didn't think they were a big deal in comparison to my anxiety. Is there anything you suggest I should talk to my doctor about when we get the MRI results?
Are there Dr.s such as yourself in the state of Oregon? I have many of the symptoms you mention(ed) in this video, and have also been diagnosed with GERD, stenosis/spondylosis of cervical neck, and also cervichagenic dizziness/headaches etc… I have believed for many years that many of my problems are vagus nerve related, yet my Dr.s just laugh and shrug it off because they are “the doctor” and I’m not😡
Pretty much my story for 4 years. NO BODY believes me, ALL DOC fart me off. Iv said Vagas nerve damage since 2019 after 2 intense cervical fusion s. Iv been so sic since, with loss, lymphatic edema n SEVERE PAIN N depression.NOT a quality of life.
This information has answered my questions and my problem that I've had for years. I've suffered so long 😭 I've had so many tests with no answers. This has opened up a huge door for me to get a diagnosis. I've had tachycardia for year's. I've been to heart Drs even a heart skipping Dr. My esophagus has been bothering me so badly it stays raw and burn's all the time. I have been having trouble with pills and food getting stuck in my throat for several years. All the symptoms he mentioned I have! Thank you so very much for sharing this video with great information. God bless you 🙏🏻💓
Brilliant video! Thank you so much. I have swallowing since about 20 years. Barum test was positive, the food stucked. Still I couldn't find any cure. The involvement of the vagus nerve is absolutely new to me. Now I have to find an open minded doctor here in Germany. THANKS again for the video
It can be really challenging to keep an open mind when dealing with long term symptoms so we are happy to hear that we have helped! Praying that you can find some healing!
Wow THANK YOU for this video! You're incredibly intelligent & you stand to help so many people out there including both my mother & I. I think we are both suffering from this but have different causes. I also found it interesting you mentioned having idiopathic pancreatitis which I had
Dr Hauser Many years ago I had scapulothoracic fusion performed and had relief from pain for many years. about 2 years ago I fell in the shower landed twisted on my left side. Afterwards I noticed my sternum was sticking out and lying flat caused pain in the vertebrae in the region where the bottom of the rib cage connects to the spine at the back, This gradually got worse with time and my scapula started to pull on the vertebrae, One day later I sat up quickly and felt something give and there was a crunching and popping noise. I believe I have either disconnected the rib cage from the spine or torn a ligament from the rhomboid or lower trapezius from the spine, Previously i also had cervical fusion from C5 to T1 and several first rib resections on both sides. After the time I sat up causing damage the rib cage rose and I felt the muscles below losing function and just pulling. I seem to have lost my abdominal muscles and the transverse abdominals . It feels like my upper body is not connected properly to the lower region. My buttocks have severely atrophied down to the bone in places and my lowe back is just pulling. Its impossible to sit with by buttocks against the chair and the rib cage is not sitting in the correct position I also have trouble swallowing and when I drink liquids I always cough violently. I have sleep apnoea and wake in the morning there is a foul smell in the mask. I hope this makes some sense and i realise my situation is extremely complicated. I am in the UK so i could not see you in the USA, However if you could give any advice i would be most grateful I suffer from severe cramping in the rib cage which is pushing my abdomen out. Thank you Aidan C.
The colour speaks volumes. (love it-very optimistically humorous) To anyone unfortunate enough to suffer this condition I would suggest change diet to strict Carnivore and also look at and try the Moritz Liver flush to evaluate liver and clear congested bile ducts. Also look at Prolonged Fasting to invoke autophagy and massively invoke stem cell rejuvenation of core body physiology. Pancreatitis is most likely caused by insulin resistance in my opinion. Revero health and Shawn Baker MD channel good place to start.
Prolotherapy for the neck .. hmmmm I had it for my knee but I’m wondering will it also help this C3-C6 fusion for the soreness,tightness and stiffness associated with the procedure 2 years ago. ?? Oh let’s not forget about the vertigo type symptoms also.
I have had partial sphincter muscle removed for achalasia. They said there was nothing else that could be done except remove my esophagus. I had extreme spasms with it as well as inability to swallow. Had a spasm one time when chiropractor was doing a thoracic adjustment. Spasm stopped instantly. Have control pain and inability to swallow with thoracic vertebrae adjustments for the past thirty years. Hope this will help someone else the agony of this condition and its standard treatment
@@MRSJay-pz4oe I am not in USA. Any chiropractor should be able to adjust your T5/6 subluxation. Yours may not be specifically at this juncture but it will at least be a start to investigate. I so hope this helps you.❤
Thank you so much for this video. I have all these issues and sometimes the Drs make me think I'm crazy. I had a directory of c5 thru c7, and the choking and swallowing issues have multiplied. Ithis is a start in the right direction.
The barium test diagnosed the "bird's beak" and suffer from anxiety, chronic inflammation, bloating, hiatal hernia, wheezing, high bp, violent coughing and nasal regurgitation, my nostrils are still burning. I had been diagnosed with Wegener's Vasculitis in December 2019, along with Covid-19, and breast cancer. Most perplexing of all is, I am 69 yo, 5'7", the heaviest I've ever been (180), and cannot lose weight.
Love seeing good videos. I'm 30 and made the mistake of going ten yrs before I got on the Kath for treatment. But I knew I had achalasia after doing hrs and hrs of research. But the Upper GI doctors would say everything looks fine etc. So I was hopeless. And waiting the ten yrs made my esophagus wider. So that and then not being able to swallow water down eventually broke me. I'm 6 foot 30 yrs old and weight was 100 pounds. Mal nutrition ruined my teeth lost all them and had just severe health issues. So I got my manometry test done. And then diagnosed with achalasia type 2. Eventually got the poem done. And it's saved my life. Now I can't eat like normal. But I can take small bites and drink after every one or two bites and just take my time eating and everything will pass. So I can deal with that. Lol I will take eating tiny bites and Taking forever to eat vs not getting water down on bad days. So I been trying to help people with achalasia and bring awareness. Because it's incurable. The poem and heller do help relieve symptoms for most but some it doesn't last long and some doent help at all sadly. So achalasia awareness is very important to me and my fellow people with it. Because you can't eat get water down and with that you can't work or anything. The spasms and heartburn pain for us with achalasia is beyond excruciating its not like a normal heartburn for someone. So if anyone woth achalasia needs to talk? Feel free to respond and I'll get you my Facebook or social media name to talk. There a great FB group page for achalasia. That anyone woth achalasia or family with achalasia you should join.
Thanks Dr. Hauser for your awesome video. I have always had a bit of pain turning my head and keeping it turned for any length of time. Maybe my lack of neck mobility is a sign that my neck issue has triggered achalasia. My achalasia symptoms started 40 years ago. I had a Heller myotomy operation 30 years ago - not a cure but significantly reduced the achalasia symptoms. Over the years, my peristalsis has deteriorated on the other end of my GI tract. Hopefully Dr. Hauser has the treatment that will fix me up.
You may have just saved my life. Thank you! Everything you’ve just discussed is what I’ve been through over the years. Now I hope my gastro will watch this before they do my surgery to repair my failed Nissen Fundoplication in June. Wish me luck 🙏🏼🖖🏼

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy hello i have severe neck pain with grinding popping and crunching sound. I get popping sound in my throat and ears whenever I swallow. I did mri of cervical spine everything came normal. I did brain mri it shows partial empty sella. I can't do any work. Can't even lift 1 kg things.the pain is on right side of my neck and the pop in throat is also at the right side both i have popping sound in both ears. The pain is very severe its affecting my sleep . This problem all started after i took physiotherapy treatment . He used ift machine for 20 minutes and tens machine for 20 minutes and a muscle stimulator for 10 minutes and ultrasound for 10 minutes using both pulse and continuous mode for 2 days . I never had these symptoms before taking physiotherapy. And my mother is having mild cervical disc bulge inc3c4c5c6 c7 and mild osteophytes without any neural or spinal compression . But the pain radiates from her right side of neck to right hand and gets current shock in left hand when she folds .she gets kat kat sound when moving her head side to side .she gets pain when speedbreakers come on road .We showed to so many doctors but no results. We have lots of hope in you . If u have any treatment for us plzz reply. 🙏 thank you
I was diagnosed with this at the ripe old age of 11. Had no idea what was going on at the time but food would always get stuck and I would throw up everything I was eating and sometimes drinking. I got so malnourished that I fainted in the kitchen one day and my mother took me to the doctor. I never said anything about it because I was scared. I dropped down to 73 pounds and had to be tube fed until I was at the proper weight for surgery. Never really took interest in learning about what happened to me until I became a kinesiology student. This video provided me with some fantastic insight into this condition and what was actually happening to me.
Wow - what a story Franklin! We are so glad that you have been able to gain more insight about your condition! We pray that you can find healing and wish you the best on your health journey :)
Doc, would you please do a video on the vagus nerve and heart palpitations? I know you've mentioned them in your past videos. I've been struggling for over a year with them and have most of the symptoms you mention on a regular basis. My heart palpitations are completely random, sometimes with movement, sometimes with stress.
I have the same problem. I would also love a video on this. I get what’s called PVCs when I eat, but also when I am hungry. It feels very much like a palpitation. My doctors just don’t have a clue.
Jay 0 seconds ago This is great information. I was diagnosed with A in 2009. Everything he mentioned is what I've been through. I was told it was an autoimmune disease. But up until the last 5 years, it seemed that it had something to do with my neurological system. I also noticed flare-ups around my cycle time. I'm 40 with 3 kids, I had the HM with wrap in 2010. I have annual Endos with dilatations annually. I'm very interested in these treatments. I do have some cervical nerve damage with my discs. It makes sense to me.
I have two bulging discs with balloon like sacs pushing into the spinal cord @ c5 & c6, I have daily annoying STRONG hiccups, extreme pain swallowing sometimes, too the point I can't eat, food often feels stuck in the oesophagus, recurrent pancreatitis!!! (labelled idiosyncratic?, five times now), gall bladder removed along time ago but have been worse and worse since 15yrs ago since it was removed, but still pass UNFORTUNATELY small stones and have biliary spasming and snaps the biliary bile duct door shut, leading to jaundice and extremely deranged lfts, lots and pancreatic bloods can swing way off without explanation, extreme pain days from biliary stenosis type1 pain is easily or worse than the pancreatitis pain, (I can actually black out and stop being able to breathe from the pain, its 10/10++), effects my diaphragm cos the pain irritates it(?), Sphincter of ODDI dysfunction, intense anxiety attacks for no reason sometimes in succession for 24hrs straight- no explanationever given in E.R, bursts of chills and shaking for no reason, bouts of daily SEVERE raynauds mainly in feet but spreading over the years to hands and nose and ears, random tachycardia events, heart palpitations that skips beats in the wrist, uncontrollable hot flashes, now developing inability to control bowel movements with no warning style diarrhoea,(to scared to leave the house most days), frequent electrolyte drops where I end up in e.r with tachycardia and BP all over the place usually EXTREMELY HIGH, and need immediate drip iv top ups of all electrolytes, recent new addition to all this craziness, extreme light sensitivity which leads to intense aura with no migraine pain triggered by sudden unexpectedly bright electronic lights (can cause total or partial blindness in both eyes, I have developed a permanent scintillating scotoma in one eyes peripheral, (it was estimated in E.R it may have been a TIA or mini stroke?) I presented to E.R both times, first time both eyes lost vision in less than a minute but self resolved in an hour or two, I then developed a chronic headache that lasted 3 months straight. I get frozen upper traps on the left side of my neck. Extreme pain in my thoracic front but mainly back... just discovered I have 2 entirely deflated empty discs in my thoracic, (no idea why? Or how!) I'm 41, I can't stand for more than 10 minutes or I'm out for the entire day after I trigger the back pain. I'm on a large amount of various types of pain killers 24/7 and it does help the biliary pain, the bowel incontinence, but not much else and not always, doesn't help the neck and back pain at all. I also get bouts of POTS. Where I completely lose all vision and sometimes hearing aswell for up to a few minutes at absolute worst on standing up after rest. I'm sick of EVERYONE TELLING ME IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD AND I'M JUST HAVING ANXIETY!!! I had a massive car accident and was T-barred, hit my head on the right side really hard, car rolled 3 times and was totalled. But I somehow had no concussion or evidence then of neck damage. I do pole dance as a sport and fell in 2014 and hit my head side on and eventually I discovered the bulging sack like discs into my spinal cord likely due to that event! My Dr denied it could cause pain or ANY other symptoms. I also have bouts of EXTREMELY BAD Gerd. Please tell me, this could all be traced to this condition???
@stephanie r I have lived this nightmare for 20 plus years since a neck/ sacrum injury in 1998. So injury - Yes. But also scoliosis can cause instability and misalignment. The stability of the sacrum/ pelvis also influences the neck and lower skull and can cause these problems and more. Watch every video you can on this channel. Dr. Hauser is wonderful. The neck - critical to everything.
I’m having a VSG or Gastric sleeve surgery. Will solve my weight, diabetes and motility issues. I think my previous surgery or the diabetes caused it. But this may help others.
I have acute POTS/CFS/Fibro. Have to work extensively for several years now to retain my life with acupuncture and natural medicines. Treading water for so long so needed further assistance and by this time I have tried most options. I found mudras (hand yoga) and very quickly noticed relief then suddenly stomach gurgling. My digestion capabilities kicking back in and digestion is gradually improving. I work with liver healing mudras. I also do deep breathing, singing, chanting all to help repair the vagil tone. All organs affected and I am getting more and more relief as I continue to work. I do a particular mudra after eating and it helps the digestion process. Great book "Healing Mudras" by Yogi Nataraj. Also working now with mudras for the kidneys, heart, lungs and brain.
My lord, Dr you are very knowledgeable on many areas. I have had neck issues from 4 times whiplash over many years plus repetitive work aggravating neck, back, shoulders etc. I really wished there were experts like YOU (or even actually you)here in Perth west Australia. Some of my family members have digestive, problems eating, nausea and pain issues but unsure if their Doctors have looked into the Vagus nerve area of things. I’ve shred your video with them just now I guess to see if they feel it’s relevant. So many times the GPS or specialists we see are blind to things “outside” the square if you get my drift. Often just sticking with the usual or common medical causes they know n have sealed with instead of “really” going further n deeper beyond to investigate and find causes. Too many times I’ve had doctors say..”well it all seems ok” or “hmm, we can’t really find much problem their ….so?” After I had a fall causing a colles wrist fracture 4 years ago “I “ actually informed the hospital doctor who tended me that I had CRPS and soon after telling THEM I had discovered I now have Dupuytrens Contracture! 😳 it was by really taking note of what I was going thru symptoms wise and researching online reading reports, case studies and people with same symptoms that I told them these findings… I was correct btw…lol They confirmed but said the DC was hereditary, I disagreed and said I felt it was triggered but the fracture and trauma. I still have sharp pain in right wrist n up forearm now and luckily the DC in that hand has only caused nodules and pulling into the centre of palm under lil finger and ring finger from both base of palm and thumb side with only minimal restrictions of straightening those two fingers out. I’m awaiting an orthopaedic specialist appointment and will be asking about or whether radiation therapy is a choice. Thank you for such an in-depth session, as a non medical professional alot goes over my head but at the same time I’ve understood what you were explaining (maybe just not “all” the medical terms etc) but it’s certainly very interesting. Stay well. I’ve subscribed n look forward to watching n learning more from you. Lisa Perth West Australia
What a brilliant doctor. Do you have any colleagues with clinics in the New Orleans area or anywhere in Louisiana ? Please let me know. Thank you for all your helpful, insightful and game changing videos.
This explains things that I understand my health lots more. I have had front neck surgery twice n back surgery twice. I get strangled lots n scares me to death n the surgeon said if they have to go back into neck anymore it would close throat more.I can not eat my dinner at one time ,I have to eat part n have to wait to eat more
Just how delicate is the vagus nerve? I developed a swallowing issue some years ago. Things just don't seem to move freely in the throat anymore. Since developing the swallowing issue my health overall seems to have deteriorated massively. Could it be a vagus nerve issue?
I had a minor swallowing issue…was NOT my main symptom…turns out I had hypercalcemia & 2 of my parathyroid glands were enlarged…(you have 4 teeny glands the size of a piece of rice when normal functioning). After removal of two enlarged glands, my issues resolved. Has to be confirmed with high calcium & pth blood tests.
Yes I don't make chyme very well...when I have to throw up because the food's just been sitting on my stomach for so long, the food is still recognizable just chewed. Thanks for this video. It's makes so much sense!
Superb presentation💯. I work with a surgeon who treats this problem and other esophageal disorders with surgery. This doctor sounds like the prof from Ferris Buehler's Day Off movie😄
Thank you!!! You explained my symptoms...c6 x 2 surgery, chronic GERD, burning pain at R Quad from jugular down to groin, right ankle swelling last few weeks, they thought I was nuts! I knew it was nerve damage!!! Feels like all RH organs are malfunctioning!
Last week stopped the nexius, 2 Tbls of ACV, 1 tsp honey, squirt of real lime, 8oz water, mix, drink AM & PM... guess what NO PAIN & Heartburn 90% gone! Anxiety? Of course!
@@radram157 great you stopped the medium and found natural remedy. Always try natural before any pharmaceuticals..they can be very dangerous to your health. Always research before blindly following doctor orders.
Thank you for your reply. I can't believe the relieve - so soon..today is the first day in ohh maybe 5 yrs no reflux, over 10 yrs no burning in the rh quad...I want to give my Gastrologist a pc of mind. More importantly, I knew better, yes, always Nat'l!! Dandelions are next!!
Could it be COVID or vaccine related I wonder Many people are getting diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder because the medical profession cannot explain unusual symptoms?
Thank you so much for this informative video. I have dealt with GERD for many years. I take Prevacid for it. I also have what pulmonologist decided must be laryngeal sensory neuropathy. I have had a severe chronic cough for years. I can’t help but think the two conditions are related. Not sure where I will go from here, but I’m learning all I can.
Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) helped my friend incredibly. She'd been on antacids for years, then had Schatzki's ring surgery, and was put on Protonix, indefinitely! - it's a proton pump inhibitor which is VERY bad for you, and is usually only prescribed for 90 days tops. BUT this doctor said she would have to stay on it! The longer you take PPIs, the greater your risk of early death- literally a 51 percent increased risk of premature death found in people taking them for a year or more. Thanks doc! 🤬 Taking antacids longterm period is not much better. There's studies out there and lawsuits too. I can't remember the exact mechanism of action of the black seed oil but I do remember that it had many healing qualities and seemed for sure something to try. She started with capsules and at first she felt like she was burping them sometimes but eventually it seem to subside. She then added a good probiotic, which I'm assuming helped in the absorbtion of the black seed oil as well as everything else, and found nigella sativa in a powder form with higher amount of active components. Prior to all of this she had swallowing problems and gerd so bad she had to have her work schedule catered to her around her ability to eat and digest - she could NOT lay down or recline at all for at least 3 to 4 hours after eating, and even then she was still woken up throughout the night with issues and stayed exhausted. She also thought she was lactose intolerant! ALL of it went away. She was able to quit taking the proton pump inhibitor, and whatever that stuff is people take before eating dairy, and all antacids and doesn't have to cater her whole life around her ability to swallow and digest. Plus tell that dr to kiss her ****. Very interesting disorder, and although I have not experienced it I definitely feel for anyone who has to go through ANYTHING like it after seeing what all my friend had to go through. She literally couldn't eat on a 30 min lunch break! It may not be exactly the same thing you're going through but it's worth checking into because there were soooo many healing qualities to black seed oil it was mind blowing. It's even used in traumatic brain injury! Which is how I found it, researching for my daughter her suffered a TBI in an auto accident. Also another thing is glutathione levels, it's the body's main antioxidant and low levels affect EVERYTHING, as well as reduce our bodies ability to rid itself of toxins (like heavy metals in all the food). We're ALL low in this unless we're perfectly healthy. Selenium increases glutathione, it plays a very important role in so much but we don't ever think about it. Also an even faster way to increase glutathione levels and help the body detox is N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) - an amino acid that also is used in everything from tardive diskinesia and Parkinsons to kidney issues and lung issues -and works so well it must be the reason why the FDA tried to ban it and Amazon quit selling it! Fortunately it's still available
I've now had two tachycardia incidents with Gerd er visits in the past 1.5yrs and have had pantoprazol issued both times of which I only took for a few weeks to calm stuff down each time but also have anxiety issues affecting as well. I do have every so often stretching or slow swallows happening and anxiety for no reason at random times for as long as I can remember. I was diagnosed with IBS 21years ago. This all sounds so familiar including the headaches. Maybe I should visit a chiropractor my wfh computer posture is terrible I wouldn't doubt it's all linked. Makes so much sense
Thst horrible med pantoprazole nearly ruined me. Gave me severe headaches and severe anxiety. Never take that poison it will ruin you. Dont understand how it is still on the market. Many people suffered on that poison med. Acid reducers are terrible. Find natural remedy not dangerous pharmaceuticals
Dr Ross you are amazing, this video just defined my condition. My voice cords glue together sometimes for Many seconds. If they don't get open, I get suffocated. I cannot breath at All. My doctors do not believ it. 400 kg hit over my head and body, 6 years ago. The said, Nothing can be done. Can I do prolotherapy for my selv? Without x-ray. I am not in USA. If you have a video for self treating, I will buy. God bless you.
Thank you for this information! I need to find a way to get from Houston to you ASAP- Here's a revised version of your text with improved grammar: I was diagnosed in 2010 and underwent a Heller’s Myotomy with Fundoplication. I traveled to Chicago to see an Achalasia surgeon; however, a day or two after the surgery, the surgeon noticed I was one of his rare failures. Since then, I’ve been receiving dilations once or twice a year. My spasms have been severe. Recently, I was also diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and have herniated discs. I feel it's definitely related to my nerve issues. I experience neck pain and numbness frequently. I've been advised I have level 4 Achalasia and should consider an esophagectomy. However, as a parent of three young children, I don't feel ready. Additionally, I fear that if the nerve is the root cause, I may continue facing issues even after a partial removal.
This was an excellent presentation and it’s obvious that you are a very intelligent and compassionate doctor.
I sent them an email a week ago, no reply. Internet must be down. :)

They responded quickly to me - but they did have a bad hurricane about that time
In December 2021, I started having bad pain in my upper back, shoulder muscles, heart palpitations, not being able to digest food, constipation, itchy skin, rash on my face, high blood pressure, anxiety etc…. I started searching for answers and went to a gastroenterologist. My testing came back fine. I kept looking for answers and came across the videos from Caring Medical. I had cervical neck problems from a car accident around 2016. So I went to A doctor in my town to get it checked. I have been going to a chiropractor for years and have been living with the pain and headaches. I got my first treatment of Pyrotherapy. Wow, it made a big difference. Headaches are gone, pain reduced to about 75%, heart palpitations gone, rash on face reduced 80%, anxiety reduced about 60%, itching reduced about 40%, food sensitivities is way better. I take digestive enzymes and Hydrochloric Acid to help with my digestive sluggishness. I only take them with larger meals so that I can train my body to work on its own. Also, when I eat, I lay on my back and stretch my body and I can hear my stomach start to move with gurgling sounds. This is my first time writing about my process. I usually just read and get information but I feel that if I am healing, that I should share it. It’s been about 5 weeks since I had the procedure done. Healing energy to you all 🥰
Where did you get the pyrotherapy at?
Thank you for sharing your experience!!
Does pyrotherapy shorten overstretched or torn ligaments ?
If so I would like to try this.
It's amazing how oesophageal or stomach problems can cause severe back pain ( upper and lower) but they do
I recently spoke to an extremely proficient consultant GI specialist and he told me of a variety of problems this can cause
Particularly Functional neurological disorder ( used to be called conversion neurosis before they realised it was not purely psychosomatic and is probably a physical ideopathic condition ie the cause is not understood).
Personally I believe the use of the new vaccine technology may have played a part in the increase of diagnosed FND
An A&E nurse in the UK told me that he was willing to lose his career not taking these vaccines because he has seen too many people coming in with unusual neurological symptoms after taking them
All of your symptoms are from deficiency of stomach acid. You can take zinc , Iodine, so the stomach get able to make stomach acid. The doctors, misunderstand . They think because you have not acid. They make IT worse by pills. If you der you tube video from Dr Berg about, stomach acid deficiency symptoms, you find out that All tour symptoms are because og that. Hej has a pill with 50% ACV Apple cider vinegar and 50% Hydroclorid acid. But if sine ind has Ulcer, or stomach inflammation, you midt ude first zinc carnosine for ligning og the stomach.
Me TOO !!!!! 5-G Cell phone radiation poisoning for I have exactly the same thing as you !!!! Put the phone and computer down for 8 days and watch the change in how you feel my friend. 👍
I can not say how much this video has given me hope. I am literally in tears right now. I have been fighting and struggling so much with so many of the symptoms you have described for years. I have seen cardiologist, gastroenterologist, Neurologist, and many others along with so much testing including brain and cervical MRI's (which left out C1 evaluation) and still nothing. The heart palpitations, food getting stuck, bloating, cant swallow even water, scared to eat, pain in my neck, loss of hearing when I look up, dizziness, panic attacks and anxiety when I have never had them before, temperature regulation issues, numbness and tingling in my face, left arm, left hand, and so many more. The rash on my face is so embarrassing that I barely leave the house anymore. My fear of going floating that I might have an episode of feeling bad and dizzy with a headache and neck pain so strong that I don't want to do anything anymore.
I was a welder for 20 years and have been told by several doctors and chiropractors that my neck is all messed up from the constant trauma from the weight of the hood and flicking my head to drop my hood. Several have told me that I have sever whiplash when I have never been in a car wreck. Without all of this, some how none if them managed to put it all together.
I found your videos and am so excited to set a DR.s appointment tomorrow to talk with my PMC Dr. that i am taking notes. Thank you so much I am now excited for tomorrow for once.
That is so awesome to hear - this is why we have this channel! We are praying for you as you go into your appointment tomorrow, the God may guide the doctors and you are heard!
Did you ever get help?
I'm excited too! I'm a nurse, I haven't worked in 4 years. I was hoping to go back at the start of the new year, but my symptoms are rapidly increasing, and there's no way I can work until this is taken care of
This guy is the most COLOUR coordinated Doctor on the planet ! And I have a bad neck !
He also has a matching cup 😂
This is totally me since a car accident in 2019 that injured my neck even worse than it already was from a separate car accident in 2016 and from delivering mail for 30 years. I HAVE to find a doctor like this in my area and if not it would be well worth the money to take a trip to see Dr. Hauser. This man is truly amazing and explains things in such a manner that you can understand.
@@catmomlavender3036florida i believe
I love that you are not in the least condescending. Thank-you!
😳 WOW 😳 it took 6 1/2 years for my rare form of Achalasia of the lower esophagus to be properly diagnosed..and I have a pinched nerve in my neck! .I went to 8 different hospitals in California and Texas, and everyone had a different their of why my food wouldn't go or stay down. When I had my first endoscopy, they saw that the bottom of my esophagus was almost closed shut and my sphincter muscle above my stomach was in a constant spasm...so they "dilated" them both by putting a balloon inside and blowing it up until they stretched enough for food to pass......it only gave me relief for 3 weeks until everything started closing up again...then I needed another one ........I had 53 of them total😵💫 I literally hold the record for the most endoscopies with dilation done on one person at the hospital who eventually did my surgery💯 it's CRAZY! Unfortunately, my local VA was the ones taking care of me.....they said surgery wasn't an option, so I would just have to accept my quality of life😓 and keep getting my insides torn open every 3 weeks. ....I finally got private insurance and went to another hospital, I was in surgery the next week! They said the VA tried to kill me! No one should have 53 of ANY procedure 😡 they also said my insides were full of scar tissue and looked like they belonged to a 65 year old from them ripping me open every 3 weeks😡 the surgery I had was called a heller myotomy with a fundoplication Nissan wrap.......it literally saved my life because I was on the verge of starving to death💯 my older cousin wasn't so fortunate and she passed away from the same symptoms that I had😓moral of the story my brothers and sisters is to never give up hope, and don't take some smart, dumb azz doctor's word as law💯 stay safe out there🤗
Wow shits starting get discouraging when reading about what the VA is doing to us ... I don't have any stomach issues directly thank God however my story is much similar to include the VA... long story short I'm 36 after the VA literally made me suffer until I achieved bone on bone arthritis at age 32 following my 10yrs of service in Army 3 of which was the cradle to my final enlistment.
I just could not take the pain anymore and did not reenlist at e6 at 30 yo 😕.. turns out both of my shoulders are in a state of endstage arthritis one of which is a prosthetic bc the VA waited until I damn near groveled for the procedure when i hit bone on bone.
Following the surgery I've had a myriad of odd nerve like symptoms all up my ulnar and median pathways I was told to have my spine fused back in 2017 by VA when I went to get second opinion upon my return to schedule the procedure seems the doctor who recommended took it personal that I wanted some reassurance before a fusion, and went on to essentially defame me in his notes on my record and cited my recreational use of Mariijuana following my visit to CA after getting out Army from a decade of service 😮💨🤷♂️🤷♂️...to him a reason to recommend removal of my pain medication which apparently is something that has held strong to this day...
Anywho the doctor who originally recommended fusion disappeared never responded to me and my pcp ignored my calls to telecare and er visits in agonizing pain and prescribed ibuprofen 30 days following any such cry for help.
Reason I bring up fusion is that the location where my spine is herniated C5-C6 and C7- T 1 are where the nerve roots are for the muscles innervated by those nerves which are the shoulder, neck and arm 🤔 which likely explains my inability to abduct my shoulder on the side my spine has deviated from 5 yr old herniation that the VA has full knowledge of.
I kicked and screamed to community doctors as well as VA docs I have lost many well paying jobs bc of my disability which in my stubbornness I continued to accept offers and move to the work location for the sake of the career prospects which unfortunately all crumbled away in my hands... every job ended in medical leave until I either resigned or was let go.
I say all that to say that I just saw my 6th orthopedic now in OR who finally agrees with what I've been saying the entire time clear and blatant nerve damage via contact of my cervical/thoracic herniated disc's with my spinal cord specifically the ventral cord as was listed in an mri I found from VA dated 6yrs ago where they clearly identified and notated it but did no active intervention to alleviate me of what now has literally become one of the most knee buckling crosses that I've had to bare I don't usually fuss much but smh thus has amounted to unnecessary hardship and debilitating of an otherwise healthy young man and by golly heads will be a Rollin' once my health is fixed I will focus on the litigation process and the list of negligent providers that as you said "tried to kill me"
@@janetamplin7318 gaslite! Sounds common in medicine!
OMG!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY..
MY DOCS HATE THST I READ AND STUDY. AND DIDNT GO FOR THEIR DX.
IVE SCREEN SHOT YOUR COMMENT, AS THEY ARE TRYING TO GET ME TO GET DOWN THE GASTRO REFLUX ROAD.. AND IM FIGHTING IT ALL THE WAY.
I have to start with a gastro appt in June, and bringing all this with me.
I have a vagus nerve canal spur and reverse curve. They are 🚫 t connecting with this gastro that ng the started last after another fall two years ago. And had to give ght for another MRI, then caught to have it sent to be looked at again to feed nd other deterioration s.
But you know we'll. They want to put you on a table fir money or some new doctors first unassisted surgery.
It's only been bugging me for about 7 months on a regular.. but kudos to you for all that time.
Your experience was not in vain.. you gave me the terminology I need to protest when they try to say it's that. It's going to save me all you went through.
Thank You for your service!
And thank you for continuing to follow your gut! Literally and figuratively!
I would highly suggest you find a trained chiropractor that SPECIFICALLY does NUCCA adjustments for relieving that pinched nerve. NUCCA adjustments helped me tremendously pop my left hip back into place. Then practice Tai Chi to get the energy flowing properly.
Just Wow. You may not see this. You are so right about dumb ass, money hungry, treat us like cattle doctors.
I just keep getting weaker.
I text to tell you I was born with My esophagus growing into my lung. A nurse in nursery saved my life and and an expert surgeon in Syracuse NY. In 1959.
First 12 ,yrs I choked on meat.
Getting caught and learning how to relax and push it down. A miracle. I still am careful with meat. Very thankful and blessed with loving parents. I was their first child.
Life sure is stressfully making is all stronger.
Warriors of God and miracles. With wisdom in our years!
My problems started in the 90's with severe coughing attacks which kept getting worse with having laryngospasms. I had barium swallow tests, mobility function test and had to wear a acid monitor home for 24 hours, which showed I have mobility swallowing problems. I had a Nession Fundoplication surgery, hiatal surgery and put on omeprazole that was in early 2000's .I've had Mri's and Eeg's of my brain, Finally a neurologist doing every test he could think of diagnosed me with vagus nerve damage. I have a military neck (no neck curvature) seeing a chiropractor still for that and back and hip issues. I had a scope done last year 2021 and had my esophagus stretched for swallowing issues. Now I'm seeing a lung dr for breathing issues feels like someone has their hand around my throat squeezing my wind pipe, been diagnosed with dysphagia, seems like I asperate everything into my lungs, now I have copd, emphysema. I wish I could find out if a vagus nerve could be healed or fixed, I been living with this for so long, I'm tired of suffering from everything and it all started from a cough that wouldn't go away One dr I seen even told me I have had a cold for 15 years. smh... I hope everyone having issues with this finds there cure, bless you all
Wow, Candy. I'm so sorry to hear all of this because you described my experience almost exactly. It seems as though most of my problems that have wound me up on full disability are actually from vagus nerve damage. I hope to find relief soon but these stupid arrogant doctors won't run certain tests alwhile not knowing what to do themselves. I currently live in South Florida. I don't know how I would get to this doctor. What at your plans moving forward?
@@hitzoneproductions7858 I'm so sorry you are going through this as well. I have run out of all options I guess I also am on disibility fought for it for 5 years before finally getting It last year. I also have Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia I have a RH doctor and in pain management the meds get me through everyday, for some reason the pain meds calm down the coughing attacks and throat issues, sometimes I feel like I'm swallowing rocks Instead of food It can be so painful. I'm almost 57 years old now I'm so tired of dr's, as long as nothing gets worse I think I will maintain for now and try to get my body to work again with my back issues and twisted hips I only go out to go to the dr's the pain is unbearable when I walk around so sitting has led me here, If you don't use it you lose it they say, Its so true for me If you can stay active do so the muscle weakness loss of muscle tone Is real. If it wasn't for hand rails on steps I couldn't get up them my legs don't have the strength to climb them thank god I still have strength In my arms to pull me up something else now I have to work on. I so hope you will find a solution to help you.. God Bless
I am so sorry for what you're experiencing. I empathize w/ you I myself because I've struggled w/ a serious eating disorder on & off Since I was 15. I just turned 40 & I've been thru hell w/ digestive & esophageal problems. My swallowing issues & non-stop reflux has made recovery almost impossible. I used to go to a support group that has a woman who had to go get her esophagus stretched & I was 20 @ the time it scared me.
@@Taureanfitness sorry you are going through this as well. Esophageal and digestive problems is a horrible thing to live with I still have those issues, having food in my stomach seems to calm the reflux down, an empty stomach seems to make my stomach feel raw and reflux worse, I know to most it sounds crazy but with me its true I have weight issues myself. Having your esophagus stretched is kinda scary but mostly painless procedure, and it was for me. I hope you find relief

I was diagnosed with Achalasia in 2016. A doctor in 2013 misdiagnosed me with GERD. You're the first doctor that I've seen that related Achalasia with the vagus nerve. I've never heard of gastroparesis, but I think I have that as well. This is incredibly helpful information.
Hi, I am recently diagnosed with achalasia after draling with all the symptoms for 10 years. Lots of ER visits lots of different doctors... How are you?
I always wondered if I had a stroke in my vagel nerve. I had a strange headache I think started from damage to my vagus nerve and have been having trouble ever since.
The structure of the cervical spine is important.
Unfortunately this Medical Doctor would never recommend Chiropractic care .
Chiropractic care can restore the cervical curve and thus aid in Vagus nerve function.😊
It can injure your nerves @@debbiemartin2026
So how did you fix it?
Omg this is exactly what is going on with me! I have severe spinal stenosis at c5-6. I've been having heart tachycardia and almost pass out daily. I struggling to swallow can't digest food constant hiccups severe anxiety etc...I think you may have just saved my life with this video. Thank you.
I hope you find some relief.
I feel the same way. I have been to over 10 drs and specialists and no one can tell me why. I will have to bring this up to them. Thank you so much
Did you ever find any answers!!?
Prolotherapy and Hauser wisdom have to spread around the 🌎. Blessings Dr 🙏
This man is a treasure, everyone acts like im insane because this is all the problems i have since a pop lifting weights that changed my neck, I been trying to get to the root for almost a decade. The struggle continues but you have given a ray of light

Great video. My Vagas nerve was damaged from lyme disease in my nervous system. I quickly went from a healthy, athletic person before lyme to heart fluttering, couldn't eat anything without pain, intestinal spasms, couldn't breathe like I was suffocating 24/7, i got tinnitus, unrelenting fatigue, eye problems.My head was jutting forward and my chiropractor didnt know why. Also when he maniplated my neck my left side would intestinal area would spasm violently. Gastro Doctor didn't believe me and actually laughed at me. I did my own research and quickly knew it was vagas/phrenic nerve related. I had a head injury also at 7 i am sure has added to the damage. I THANK YOU so much for this work!
Hey man I absolutely recommend you watch this video of a physical therapist who discusses how to improve all these symptoms because of the bad posture we have. I was beginning to go through this issues really severaly because of my bad posture that was creating a pigeon breast deformity but physical therapy has improved my life so much. I really hope this can help like it's it's helping me.
I cannot believe I have never heard of this. I was diagnosed with GERD 35 years ago; now it's hiatal hernia, gastric migraines, and cyclic vomiting disorder. I've gone from 126 lbs to 101 lbs in 6 months, and I'm 5'2". I have 2 dislocated cervical bones, 2 herniated cervical disc's and a benign tumor above them. They attribute all of my problems to the vagus nerve but offer me no treatment but dry needling to be able to move my neck, and Zofran TID for vomiting, and of course pain management. I've been vomiting for two days, and yet when they do a scope they say, Oh nothing serious. Yes, except I'm disappearing and if this keeps up I'll be dead from anorexia( as in lack of appetite), vomiting, dehydration, malnutrition, and organ failure. Your video makes me think maybe there is hope, because frankly I've been getting my affairs in order.
I feel you. I have experienced a similar issue with my health and my neck. I have herniated disc in my neck, along with cervical dysstructure. I think it's what is affecting my health. If what he is saying is true then I may have Achalasia
. I have a lot of those symptoms, especially anxiety,headaches and nausea. Lost weight and falling apart. Working on getting this issue resolved. I wish you the best on your healing journey. Don't give up! 💪😎💙
I'm beginning to recuperate and so is my mom after focusing more on our posture and nutritional health to improve it.
Just stumbled on this after 2 months of rapid weight loss, stuck and spasming esophagus, and people prescribing me anxiety pills and antacids.
How are you doing now?
@@Rob__James Honestly, worse. ( not to sound dramatic). My new neurologist tells me I have partial paralysis of my eye muscles. I fell down the stairs and am still healing. Partial paralysis in my legs. Sigh. I'm pretty much stuck in the house outside of Dr. Appointments. I live on the second floor, and my husband has banned me from the stairs. I read a lot.
YOU'RE an AMAZING Dr. Thank you for showing us your Vagus Nerve video. The older ARMY Drs knew a HELL of alot more than these young Drs today!! Years ago I was very ill and I had horrible stomach pain for about a week my grandmother took me to our family Dr. who used to be an Army Dr. She told him about my symptoms and asked him if I had a terrible ulcer and he instantly knew what was wrong with me. He said that I have H. PYLORI BACTERIA. He gave me one shot of Penicillin. He said H. PYLORI IS CAUSED BY A BACTERIA and a shot of Penicillin will get rid of it. He was right and when I got home my symptoms were gone. Recently my grandson had the same symptoms and I told his parents that his symptoms were exactly like mine years ago I said he has that H.PYLORI BACTERIA but they decided to take him to a prestigious hospital where the YOUNG Drs examined him, then they did all kinds of tests, gave him different meds but his symptoms persisted. He said he can't take this pain anymore. So I called his mom and I told her that he's got the same symptoms that I had years ago and I was the same age as he is now when I was ill I said it was my family Dr who knew instantly what I had when my grandmother told him my symptoms. I said at least tell the Dr what I had and what my Dr said it was and he gave me a shot of Penicillin because it's the only MED that can STOP that bacteria so she told this to her family Dr and he listened and gave my grandson the penicillin and it got rid of the H.PYLORI BACTERIA INSTANTLY.
Thank you for persisting for him!!!

Thank you for sharing your history. Many of us have been ill for most of our lives. I think many of the doctors have HUGE school loans. They come out of school excited and bright eyed only to run up against the Associations for their specialties. Also Big Pharma I believe is threatening them with taking away their license and ability to work. It shows they are all in bed together with each state licensing board. Did they ever tell us that the recent mandatory prick hadn’t really been tested? Or how many died from the treatment or are now permanently disabled? Now they are pushing this and hormone blockers to little children. I bet have of these parents don’t have a clue what is happening. Everyone needs to do their own homework, don’t just accept the first diagnosis or treatment. Thank you Doctor for sharing this info. Your video’s have helped me a lot. I’ve always had a kinda sickly life, no diagnosis but I always felt sore, tired etc… All of the video’s I could relate to but I’ve never received the diagnosis for each. One of my problems after 5 cervical fusions with instrumentation is my spine is being absorbed, 1/2 of all the cervical bones are gone, shown on the lateral view front to back. I’m a disabled Radiologic Tech. My esophagus looks collapsed and I frequency choke on my own saliva and food. I live on chicken soup and ice cream, the easiest for me to swallow. You have been a GOD send to a lot of us. I was told in 1997 that I have an extremely rare disease/disorder that causes clots and it’s always fatal. At the time I was so Ill I said I didn’t want to know any more except how long. He said most have 2 years but everyone is different. Well I’m still here but I don’t have any quality of life and most time wish it would just be over. I hope others try hard and follow his video’s. If it sounds like you at least you’ll have a starting point. Personally In my opinion we have been given diseases in our vaccines and medicine. Although you’d be hard pressed to find someone to tell you. I worked for an incredible Radiologist ( a Dr. that specializes in medical imaging and diagnosis). He told a class of college students learning about diseases and disorders that most of the awful diseases were deliberately given to us. Many Fauci’s before the one we know.
Wow, a brilliant presentation! My son was diagnosed with achalasia some years ago and after copious visits to doctors and hospitals. He was told by his GP that he was a ‘conundrum’ , I think it was suggested he might be anorexic, he lost so much weight and muscle mass, it was heartbreaking. The UK doctors didn’t know what to do with him.😢
He was given a hellos myotome, with a fundoplication wrap, he was ill for months!
Moving on and some years later, he has frequent short hospital stays every few months, because he starts trying to vomit. They give him anti-sickness meds, a morphine drip for pain, saline and blood works. Stress is a massive trigger, he has not been ‘right’ since,
So little information is available on this subject, I thank you for this, I wish we had known more before he had the op.
Prior to the op, they used a balloon, post major op he has had follow up ops and medical procedures. He drinks water every time he eats to push the food through, he used to love his food. All this kicked off with a campylobacter infection contracted while he was working on the cruise ships. 😢
Oh.poor lad!!!!
Hoping he gets some decent help. I'm the same. So now I know what ,maybe to do???
I have A.S. Terrible and painful!!! Now only eat soups. Thank you and GOD BLESS!!!!!!!
@@josephineedeeth.trowbridge8968 bless you also. It really is a terrible illness and people have no idea or understanding of the pain, discomfort when eating. When you you try to explain a lot of them switch off!
Koala hugs to you. We were forced to learn about our disabilities (my son and I) after multiple injuries, enormous amount of abuse and neglect and failure to act. Also being ignored and there is nothing we can do for you, now go away and leave us alone. My son and I learnt about our disabilities, including how to heal and by miracle received remission. My son has been waiting for an operation now for over 11 years. But we knew he needed this since he was a child. We don't give up, and bit by bit the doctors have become informed and waiting makes them want to do it safely. I am watching this vid learning about my neck and as a result become informed and aware of these conditions.
Praying for him!
@@Jehrica3 thank you so much ❤️
This is by far the most informative video I have listened to so far that explains in such great detail various vagus nerve dysfunctions . Thank you 🙏
I believe my mother had this she suffered for the past ten years of her life . She never had the barium test . But she couldn't hardly swallow food . She past in Dec . I know this is what she had !! All of the symptoms. Especially the food sticking then throwing up . She had two steel doors fall on her head in a factory . Back in 1980 she never was treated or even looked at!!! About ten years ago they did extras of her kneck seen all the damage. But too old to do anything about it . This makes me sick.knowing this is what she had ..
Same for me my partner of 47 years passed on 14/1 /2022 , he could not eat, kept retching and vomiting, he had bypass surgery to cure diabetes, which it did but I think the surgeon damaged his vagus nerve or something, because these were his exact symptoms.
I learn so much listening to you today. I have had a acalasia since I was about 26 yrs old. I am now 78 yrs old. I have had all the signs and symptoms you described.
I have a Gastroenterologist who follows me. I even had surgery years ago which helped a bit. My cardiologist thinks I have a cardiac problem, they will not address the achalasia. Thanks so much for this. You are spot on. You perfectly explained everything that is happening to me.
WOW!!! In 1997 my ex-husband drove us into a 5 vehicle car accident and my seat belt did not hold me so I bounced all over the place inside the car. I had severe whiplash plus damage to my lower spine. Then my ex walked out on me and stole everything I had. In 2012/13 my neck "went out" as I was trying to unpack my stuff in my new apartment. It was so bad that every tiny, little motion made me scream in pain. I was put on methadone for pain which caused even MORE problems for my body. I tried and tried and tried to get help with all the snowballing effect of health issues. I have trouble eating anything solid as it feels like it gets stuck along the way. The pain IS excruciating at times. I often have acid reflux at which point swallowing several glasses of cold water only helps. I often vomit for no reason for several days in a row. I just lost 50 pounds from not eating. My blood sugars have gone out of the normal range for no reason. I have awful anxiety a lot of the time but they keep pushing me to get counselling or to make me go on anti-depressants & to tell them what I was thinking when it hit but they WILL NOT believe me when I tell them the truth. I often wake up at night in a full blown anxiety attack and now fear sleeping. I consume mostly yogurt or foods of that nature since foods like meat or hard foods create terrible pain and feels like it is stuck. My heart began, more recently, having palpitations and sometimes have gone up to 180 beats per minute but will not come down to a normal rate. They said in Emergency that I have A-Fib although there were no tests done. I began having high blood pressure issues a few years ago. What I am saying is that I have had almost everything in the way of symptoms you have mentioned and there are a lot of symptoms I get that I have not put in here either. I doubt that doctors where I live even KNOW what Achalasia is!! Re: that car accident in 1997 resulted in severe nerve pain in my butt area especially on the left side. It took them 15 YEARS to diagnose that. Fifteen YEARS of being accused of looking for drugs, looking for attention, looking for a way to get out of working - accusation after accusation after accusation to FINALLY have someone who KNEW how to operate a CT SCAN caught the problem. I had Piriformis Syndrome that I fixed myself within 3 days of mild stretches and exercises. THIS IS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. I am in Canada and we have the worst health care there is - I can not get the help I need. I am going to copy the web address for my doctor and tell her to go home and watch your video. MAYBE THEN I will get some help finally!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Julia. Same story. Stick to your. BELIEF S. this. Being passed of as MENTAL issue. .SHOW this VIDEO. To them. I. Have been ill for years with this. And labelled. MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. I'm up for a 2nd nissian funucation. Ummm. Sores all over body. Anxiety. Weight loss. Public. Family. Think it Self infected. So I walked away. And live my life. My way.
My esophagus gave me so much trouble after we moved to Michigan. Environmental allergies combined with seasonal allergies plus a diminished immune system were blamed. A nurse practionisher told me I had a wheat allergy. I adjusted my eating habits toward nonglucose ingredients. OMG. Big difference, my body responded so quickly to my new diet. Most everything tastes like cardboard, i could care less I feel so much better.
🥰🥰🤗
Sympathy for you. I have swallowing problems and coughing for years. ( some copd). I am 78 in the UK. Your problems are much worse than mine but recently I tried Apple cider vinegar, with a little water or juice as body pH level can cause some of this. I cannot clean teeth without immediate coughing and foaming, even with just water. I cough about 10 mins.after eating certain foods. I am seeing some improvement. Just a thought for you.
HOW DO YOU FIX vagus nerve degeneration
It takes time. Aerobic exercise, chiropractic work, rolfing, professional massage (I’d also buy a massage gun), traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture, cupping, herbal tea), and possibly Vagus Nerve Stimulation (via device) if it is causing serious anxiety/depression. I’d try to get to the root cause by developing a stack of tools at home and in your community that can really give you a sense of what is going on inside your body. Use Western medicine for imagery and medication and if you are really out of wack in the beginning but I would wean off of it eventually. You have to be seriously dedicated to getting your body back, or truly inhabiting it for the very first time. Cut out alcohol and other bad habits as well, if you can’t keep them in moderation. Easier if you just stop them altogether. Be patient with yourself. And please know, there is hope :)
Somatic exercises
Wonderful explanation to the common man, of how important the neck and proper alignment and posture is to the upright human.. Enjoyed this a lot Thank you for the time common man
I HAVE ACHALASIA!
I HAVE ACHALASIA!
I HAVE ACHALASIA!
I was diagnosed at age 23.
So glad you made this video. I've come up with my own theories why I came down with this disease. Thank YOU.
I'd be interested in your theories if you want to share.
@@KMx108 i have a youtube video dedicated to it, check out my page. it's under "Spiritual Reasons for Achalsia"
yes, please do share. i am interested in what you have to say..., can't wait to hear what you have to say
Try b12 and b1 not a mixed vitamin
IMO, in most cases it relates to SIBO. However, another contributing cause could be chronic neck and shoulder tension.
Wait, wait. You mean I've been struggling with a whole bunch of these things for years and they might all be linked?? I'm going in for a consultation in a few weeks, but if they sound like eveyone else who has looked at me ("everything looks fine, must be something mental" or "just stop gulping your food", etc) ypu better believe I'm going to do what I can to go see this Dr!
Update: I'm going in for a Heller soon! I can't wait to not feel like a 15 year old high school girl with Bulimia.
Thank you so much for this information. As someone who developed Gerd and severe esophageal spasms three years ago, this information pertaining to the cervical spine is truly priceless. Thank you thank you thank you!
Doctor, I also would be interested in seeing a video on the vagus nerve as it relates to heart palpitations and further connections to feeling like food or even drinks are “stretching” esophagus and then when pounding rapid palpitations would follow.
I m so happy I found this video. Around a year ago I started to get quite bad vertigo. The room was literally spinning, alongside tinnitus. The vertigo subsided, but I now have a dull ache in the back of my neck which seems to be quite high up. The tinnitus continues off and on but I’m now getting these bouts of anxiety and panic and nausea. I quite often feel sick. I have acid reflux, diarrhoea, heart palpitations., sometimes sudden shortness of breathe and lately insomnia. My doctor said I’m suffering from stress. Despite telling them that I have very little stress in my life, that’s their diagnosis. I’m so relieved that i didn’t accept their diagnosis and kept looking for answers.
Ok. I’m learning more from you than from all the docs I’ve been to. They do tests after test. Things just don’t work right anymore. You’ve got SLE. The end. Now I’m kind of understanding more about how all this is connected and why things have happened. I’m going to listen to more of your videos. Thank you.
Dr Hauser helped me tremendously back in 2020
Hi Mary, Thank you for sharing that. You made our day. :) So happy to be able to help in any way and wishing you all the best in health!
What’s your story? Would love to hear
I am a c5 quadriplegic as of 3 years now and I suffer so much from chronic pain and I get shock like sensation throughout my neck and makes me feel like I could die.. It’s very detrimental to my daily life. I wish I could make the pain go away.
Praying for you Martin. Have you heard of Joni Erickson Tada?
She’s a quad who also suffers from terrible chronic pain…
I believe you would be encouraged by her videos …
🙏
Yup, Atlas, axis, occipital dysfunction.....
@Caring Medical Dr. Hauser, please do a video with a long amount of content on treatments for these syndromes. ie the services that you offer to restore neck structure, mobility, lordosis, etc. Or separate short videos for each process. Thx!
For the ones who suffer of a slight vagal dysfunction (a bit of Titinitus ringing sometimes, gastro reflux, tachycardia, shortness of breath for ex) or a cervical / neck issue causing Migraine (migraine as a sciatica of the neck so to speak) I would like to recommend a book for practical self-care:
Autor Stanley Rosenberg, rolfer, cranian osteopath, american having a clinic in Dänemark
Title "Accessing the Healing power of the Vagus Nerve"
Self-help exercises.
They consist mainly of postures of the head, its motion, and self-Massage of the ligaments in the occipital region
For slight dysfunction it might be a good ressource..
I’m still figuring out my situation. You have such a great hope
My mind is blown! I've been dealing with most of these things for so long with no idea why and figured they were related but mountains of drs couldn't figure out anything. ACDF when I was about halfway through all my current diagnoses but was from a car accident. Sphincter of Oddi is debilitating. I am TERRIFIED of eating. I can't wait to show this to my GI dr. I've never been so floored by a video on youtube! Thank you for sharing this information!
Only one out of one hundred thousand people get achalasia I was diagnosed with it last month at Cleveland clinic :( I vomit generally at least 2 to 3 times a day
Do you therefore recommend chiropractic or manual manipulation for these structural issues?
Thank you for the wonderful video. I have achalasia and I’m going to have a surgery and this was such a delight to know a little bit more of the anatomy and history. You are a great physician
I was diagnosed several yrs ago w degeneration of discs in my neck c5,6,7. It's now gone to total spinal degeration. Recently started having hard time swallowing and digestion has been bad w Gerd. Getting old sucks. Thank you for the info I will now go do the research.
How are things today? Just turned 61 and I agree. Experienced my 1st 24 hours of continuous achalasia due to a pinched nerve in C5/C6 disc. Reaching out to anyone with similar situation. Thanks
Wow! Thank you for what you do. I was part of the 11% of people who get GBS( Guillain-Barré Syndrome ) that go on to have residual issues and permanent debilitating damage. And so I could sit here and cry because when it came on I truly believe I experienced a form of whiplash. I collapsed like an accordion straight to the ground. And I went to a chiropractor who said without a doubt that I had a subluxation. This was after having spent 4 days in the ICU and 6 weeks with PT and OT. My PT person tried desperately to get 12 more weeks approved because my core needed to be strengthened. I've always had problems with swallowing since then which I thought was something to do with the throat muscle. I can't make saliva which is a side note. But more importantly flash forward 20 years and that subluxation is still there with swelling and migraines, and yes I don't eat well and I have things that get stuck in my throat. Right now I would pay a million dollars to sit and have a conversation with you. 🤔
Hi Nancy, Thank you for sharing and your kind words. So sorry to hear what you have been through and your residual issues. If you feel that you would potentially like to come to our center, you're welcome to reach out to us directly and we can review your case in more detail. Wishing you all the best in health! Take care.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I appreciate your invitation. I will work on composing a statement that encompasses my experience in a nutshell. Because God knows I've been known to ramble on and your time is valuable. lol ugh! , I appreciate any information that I can extract from such a chill, intelligent open-minded person. I realize I may not speak with you in person, but I am hopeful that the experience of visiting your institution will be inspiring. It is coincidental that some friends of ours just moved to Florida. I am up here in cold stuffy New England. So it would take some arranging for me to get down there for at least one visit. I am desperate to make the most of this next phase of my life. Thank you for what you do!!!
I had a posterior cervical fusion c-1 c-7 about 4 years ago in July .. when they got in there to see what was wrong with the cord, besides the stenosis they found on mri.. a bone spur grew over my cord and smashed it flat as a pancake the dr said .. after I remove the aspen brace my head falls foreword and I’m often walking around looking at the ground and need to lay back a little vs sitting up .. I was not told this could happen .. it’s uncomfortable and painful to try to hold my head up.. So what I did on my own was ordered a cervical posture brace .. I got the one that has the addition of straps that secure around the ribs.. this way I have the option of using them or not but still having the straps around the shoulders .. since I started using the posture brace, I have slowly been able to reduce the head falling foreword.. it’s helped me to improve posture and reduce pain from holding my head up in my neck, shoulders and spine.. I’ve also been able to eat and take fluids better..this worked for me and I only need to use the brace intermittently now.. having the posterior cervical fusion was the worst experience in my life and I’ll be dealing with it forever.. no one told me my head could fall foreword or how to deal with it and the pain associated with it if I experienced this.. the cervical posture brace has helped tremendously for me.. I’m glad I bought it..
Wished I hadn't, but I did have a cervical fusion one year and a couple months ago and am having trouble swallowing and front neck pain too. I don't think they can undo this operation and take out the hardware, but during the operation I went into AFIB twice. Possibly due to damage of the vagus nerve. Hopefully surgical procedures will be much different in the future.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO PUT THIS OUT THERE!! I was just diagnosed with Achalasia and was concerned about the surgical options. But I do have neck issues, so I will be looking this approach. 🙏🙏
I am so impressed by this doctor 😊I am afraid we do not have such an expert in Australia. I am having a lot of pain and would be happy to go to such a doctor
unfortunately we hear this from a lot of individuals from AUS - it is great that you are looking into alternative, we hope you find the care you need and are praying for your healing!
@CaringmedicalProlotherapy ,thank you for that. I do enjoy your educational videos. Thanks.Good luck
My daughter has achalasia at 12 due to EDS comorbidity. We likely inherited my dad's genes, who has frenic nerve compromise and had hiccups which caused several heart attacks before he passed. We need to address CPTSD and compromised vagus nerve. Refer to Dr. Andrew Maxwell's video from last year's EDS conference addressing the autonomic nervous system issues and how innervation problems including gastroparesis/achalasia are part of what he calls the Pentad. My POTS (tachycardia) requires cervical neck brace a few hours a day.
I've done my own study on this subject and can say with extreme confidence that the whole problem revolves around an arthritic sternum. When young and in good health we wildly neglect our inner health...we let it take care of itself but by our wild behaviour the flow of hormones, bilirubin, cerebrospinal fluid all take a hit. This fluid does a number of important things...it lubricates all sphincters within us...even the replicating living cell is a sphincter...but it also clears out salts which congest just about everywhere within us. It's early days yet but the science is most encouraging. It is a righteous science which I got from the Holy Bible.
Interesting I can see how an arthritic sternum could cause this type of problem
@@aicy5020 I only know because I've managed to get some bilirubin back in my sternum and within days felt the apparatus beneath the menubrium saying thank you. It's early days yet but I'm very hopeful.
💯 👍 ✌️
Craniosacral
This explains everything! However when I mentioned it to my physician he told me that it probably wasn’t the issue… I just had an endoscopy to rule anything else out. This just makes sense!
12 mins into this video and you have explained pretty much everything I have been experiencing. I have been having digestive issues for a few years (GERD and chronic constipation) and in the last 2-4 years my anxiety has spiraled out of control (frequent panic attacks and disassociation).
I have had two ulcers now from taking too much motrin for over a decade. I was taking the motrin because of neck, upper back, and right shoulder pain. Physical therapy didn't help my neck, but dry needling (basically acupuncture) helped my upper back and shoulder for about 2 months, but it is starting to hurt again. I have to prop my arm across a pillow at night or it will be so numb in the morning that it is useless for a few minutes until the blood starts flowing again. If I don't prop my leg, my hips become extremely sore.
Physical Therapy sent me to orthopedics and they took an x-ray of my neck which shows degenerative disc disease with moderate loss of disc space and "moderate anterior as well as posterior osteophyte formation at C5-C6..." and a lot of other scary sounding terms. I'm not a doctor so I don't understand more than what google tells me about these terms, but it doesn't sound good.
I have an appointment for an MRI this week so they can see what is going on with my neck better because at this point, it was suggested that I might need neck injections for the pain.
I saw a few links online while looking for the terms from the x-ray read out and came across something about cervical spondylosis (which is also listed in the x-ray) and mood disorders. Then I saw the stuff about digestive issues and numbness in the arms.
I had no idea that neck problems can cause anxiety issues. My psychiatrist has been confused because while I have had anxiety for a long time, it has never got to the point where it has become this disabling even in worse situations. I can barely leave my house anymore and I've started having binge eating issues tied to my anxiety.
It would be wild to me if it turns out all of my problems are actually being caused by the pain my neck, but all the things I have been reading seem to match up with every issue I have been having, some of them I haven't even told the doctors about because I didn't think they were a big deal in comparison to my anxiety.
Is there anything you suggest I should talk to my doctor about when we get the MRI results?
Are there Dr.s such as yourself in the state of Oregon? I have many of the symptoms you mention(ed) in this video, and have also been diagnosed with GERD, stenosis/spondylosis of cervical neck, and also cervichagenic dizziness/headaches etc… I have believed for many years that many of my problems are vagus nerve related, yet my Dr.s just laugh and shrug it off because they are “the doctor” and I’m not😡
Yes! Dr. Kevin Reavis practices at the Oregon Clinic in Portland. There are other Gastroenterologists there with experience in this disease.
Relatable!!!!!!
Pretty much my story for 4 years. NO BODY believes me, ALL DOC fart me off. Iv said Vagas nerve damage since 2019 after 2 intense cervical fusion s. Iv been so sic since, with loss, lymphatic edema n SEVERE PAIN N depression.NOT a quality of life.

This information has answered my questions and my problem that I've had for years. I've suffered so long 😭 I've had so many tests with no answers. This has opened up a huge door for me to get a diagnosis.
I've had tachycardia for year's. I've been to heart Drs even a heart skipping Dr.
My esophagus has been bothering me so badly it stays raw and burn's all the time.
I have been having trouble with pills and food getting stuck in my throat for several years.
All the symptoms he mentioned I have!
Thank you so very much for sharing this video with great information.
God bless you 🙏🏻💓
Thank you so much I finally have a diagnosis ! I have been suffering for so long w these digestive issues ! Wish you had a practice In California
Wow! No one can expalin it better then this . Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Thanks for watching Betty!
Brilliant video! Thank you so much. I have swallowing since about 20 years. Barum test was positive, the food stucked. Still I couldn't find any cure. The involvement of the vagus nerve is absolutely new to me. Now I have to find an open minded doctor here in Germany. THANKS again for the video
It can be really challenging to keep an open mind when dealing with long term symptoms so we are happy to hear that we have helped! Praying that you can find some healing!
Hello Andreas, may I ask how to contact your open minded doctor in Germany. I have Achalasia and I want to avoid the poem surgery 😢
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hope you are teaching other doctors.
Wow THANK YOU for this video! You're incredibly intelligent & you stand to help so many people out there including both my mother & I. I think we are both suffering from this but have different causes. I also found it interesting you mentioned having idiopathic pancreatitis which I had
Dr Hauser
Many years ago I had scapulothoracic fusion performed and had relief from pain for many years.
about 2 years ago I fell in the shower landed twisted on my left side.
Afterwards I noticed my sternum was sticking out and lying flat caused pain in the vertebrae in the region where the bottom of the rib cage connects to the spine at the back,
This gradually got worse with time and my scapula started to pull on the vertebrae,
One day later I sat up quickly and felt something give and there was a crunching and popping noise.
I believe I have either disconnected the rib cage from the spine or torn a ligament from the rhomboid or lower trapezius from the spine,
Previously i also had cervical fusion from C5 to T1 and several first rib resections on both sides.
After the time I sat up causing damage the rib cage rose and I felt the muscles below losing function and just pulling.
I seem to have lost my abdominal muscles and the transverse abdominals .
It feels like my upper body is not connected properly to the lower region.
My buttocks have severely atrophied down to the bone in places and my lowe back is just pulling.
Its impossible to sit with by buttocks against the chair and the rib cage is not sitting in the correct position
I also have trouble swallowing and when I drink liquids I always cough violently.
I have sleep apnoea and wake in the morning there is a foul smell in the mask.
I hope this makes some sense and i realise my situation is extremely complicated.
I am in the UK so i could not see you in the USA,
However if you could give any advice i would be most grateful
I suffer from severe cramping in the rib cage which is pushing my abdomen out.
Thank you

The colour speaks volumes. (love it-very optimistically humorous) To anyone unfortunate enough to suffer this condition I would suggest change diet to strict Carnivore and also look at and try the Moritz Liver flush to evaluate liver and clear congested bile ducts. Also look at Prolonged Fasting to invoke autophagy and massively invoke stem cell rejuvenation of core body physiology. Pancreatitis is most likely caused by insulin resistance in my opinion. Revero health and Shawn Baker MD channel good place to start.
Prolotherapy for the neck .. hmmmm I had it for my knee but I’m wondering will it also help this C3-C6 fusion for the soreness,tightness and stiffness associated with the procedure 2 years ago. ?? Oh let’s not forget about the vertigo type symptoms also.
A big thanks to you and your team for another great and incredibly informative video!
btw lovin the red and yellow
I have had partial sphincter muscle removed for achalasia. They said there was nothing else that could be done except remove my esophagus. I had extreme spasms with it as well as inability to swallow. Had a spasm one time when chiropractor was doing a thoracic adjustment. Spasm stopped instantly. Have control pain and inability to swallow with thoracic vertebrae adjustments for the past thirty years. Hope this will help someone else the agony of this condition and its standard treatment
Great info, I have to look for someone of this skill in Houston. Where are u located? I'll fly. I'm not ready to have part of my E removed.
@@MRSJay-pz4oe I am not in USA. Any chiropractor should be able to adjust your T5/6 subluxation. Yours may not be specifically at this juncture but it will at least be a start to investigate. I so hope this helps you.❤
Thank you so much for this video. I have all these issues and sometimes the Drs make me think I'm crazy. I had a directory of c5 thru c7, and the choking and swallowing issues have multiplied. Ithis is a start in the right direction.
How are things today? I have similar situation with C5/C6 and swallowing difficulties sporadically.
The barium test diagnosed the "bird's beak" and suffer from anxiety, chronic inflammation, bloating, hiatal hernia, wheezing, high bp, violent coughing and nasal regurgitation, my nostrils are still burning. I had been diagnosed with Wegener's Vasculitis in December 2019, along with Covid-19, and breast cancer. Most perplexing of all is, I am 69 yo, 5'7", the heaviest I've ever been (180), and cannot lose weight.
This was so informative! My vagus nerve was cut during weight loss surgery years ago.This has been very hard for me. I have better understanding now!
Thank you! We are so glad that this was helpful!
simply THE best presentation of it's kind fond on the internet - thanks :)
Love seeing good videos. I'm 30 and made the mistake of going ten yrs before I got on the Kath for treatment. But I knew I had achalasia after doing hrs and hrs of research. But the Upper GI doctors would say everything looks fine etc. So I was hopeless. And waiting the ten yrs made my esophagus wider. So that and then not being able to swallow water down eventually broke me. I'm 6 foot 30 yrs old and weight was 100 pounds. Mal nutrition ruined my teeth lost all them and had just severe health issues. So I got my manometry test done. And then diagnosed with achalasia type 2. Eventually got the poem done. And it's saved my life. Now I can't eat like normal. But I can take small bites and drink after every one or two bites and just take my time eating and everything will pass. So I can deal with that. Lol I will take eating tiny bites and Taking forever to eat vs not getting water down on bad days. So I been trying to help people with achalasia and bring awareness. Because it's incurable. The poem and heller do help relieve symptoms for most but some it doesn't last long and some doent help at all sadly. So achalasia awareness is very important to me and my fellow people with it. Because you can't eat get water down and with that you can't work or anything. The spasms and heartburn pain for us with achalasia is beyond excruciating its not like a normal heartburn for someone. So if anyone woth achalasia needs to talk? Feel free to respond and I'll get you my Facebook or social media name to talk. There a great FB group page for achalasia. That anyone woth achalasia or family with achalasia you should join.
I m experiencing chest pains after getting POEM..I m so sad and feel really low some days…
Thanks Dr. Hauser for your awesome video. I have always had a bit of pain turning my head and keeping it turned for any length of time. Maybe my lack of neck mobility is a sign that my neck issue has triggered achalasia. My achalasia symptoms started 40 years ago. I had a Heller myotomy operation 30 years ago - not a cure but significantly reduced the achalasia symptoms. Over the years, my peristalsis has deteriorated on the other end of my GI tract. Hopefully Dr. Hauser has the treatment that will fix me up.
You may have just saved my life. Thank you! Everything you’ve just discussed is what I’ve been through over the years. Now I hope my gastro will watch this before they do my surgery to repair my failed Nissen Fundoplication in June. Wish me luck 🙏🏼🖖🏼

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy hello i have severe neck pain with grinding popping and crunching sound. I get popping sound in my throat and ears whenever I swallow.

Can't even lift 1 kg things.the pain is on right side of my neck and the pop in throat is also at the right side both i have popping sound in both ears. The pain is very severe its affecting my sleep . This problem all started after i took physiotherapy treatment . He used ift machine for 20 minutes and tens machine for 20 minutes and a muscle stimulator for 10 minutes and ultrasound for 10 minutes using both pulse and continuous mode for 2 days . I never had these symptoms before taking physiotherapy. And my mother is having mild cervical disc bulge inc3c4c5c6 c7 and mild osteophytes without any neural or spinal compression .

@@live12617 Have you or your mother had any luck with your treatments yet?
I was diagnosed with this at the ripe old age of 11. Had no idea what was going on at the time but food would always get stuck and I would throw up everything I was eating and sometimes drinking. I got so malnourished that I fainted in the kitchen one day and my mother took me to the doctor. I never said anything about it because I was scared. I dropped down to 73 pounds and had to be tube fed until I was at the proper weight for surgery. Never really took interest in learning about what happened to me until I became a kinesiology student. This video provided me with some fantastic insight into this condition and what was actually happening to me.
Wow - what a story Franklin! We are so glad that you have been able to gain more insight about your condition! We pray that you can find healing and wish you the best on your health journey :)
Doc, would you please do a video on the vagus nerve and heart palpitations? I know you've mentioned them in your past videos. I've been struggling for over a year with them and have most of the symptoms you mention on a regular basis. My heart palpitations are completely random, sometimes with movement, sometimes with stress.
Me to... Medical care isn't even medical care anymore
I have the same problem. I would also love a video on this. I get what’s called PVCs when I eat, but also when I am hungry. It feels very much like a palpitation. My doctors just don’t have a clue.
My physical therapist straight up said modern medicine isnt to help people

This is great information. I was diagnosed with A in 2009. Everything he mentioned is what I've been through. I was told it was an autoimmune disease. But up until the last 5 years, it seemed that it had something to do with my neurological system. I also noticed flare-ups around my cycle time. I'm 40 with 3 kids, I had the HM with wrap in 2010. I have annual Endos with dilatations annually. I'm very interested in these treatments. I do have some cervical nerve damage with my discs. It makes sense to me.
I have two bulging discs with balloon like sacs pushing into the spinal cord @ c5 & c6, I have daily annoying STRONG hiccups, extreme pain swallowing sometimes, too the point I can't eat, food often feels stuck in the oesophagus, recurrent pancreatitis!!!

I presented to E.R both times, first time both eyes lost vision in less than a minute but self resolved in an hour or two, I then developed a chronic headache that lasted 3 months straight. I get frozen upper traps on the left side of my neck. Extreme pain in my thoracic front but mainly back... just discovered I have 2 entirely deflated empty discs in my thoracic, (no idea why? Or how!) I'm 41, I can't stand for more than 10 minutes or I'm out for the entire day after I trigger the back pain. I'm on a large amount of various types of pain killers 24/7 and it does help the biliary pain, the bowel incontinence, but not much else and not always, doesn't help the neck and back pain at all. I also get bouts of POTS. Where I completely lose all vision and sometimes hearing aswell for up to a few minutes at absolute worst on standing up after rest.
I'm sick of EVERYONE TELLING ME IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD AND I'M JUST HAVING ANXIETY!!!
I had a massive car accident and was T-barred, hit my head on the right side really hard, car rolled 3 times and was totalled. But I somehow had no concussion or evidence then of neck damage. I do pole dance as a sport and fell in 2014 and hit my head side on and eventually I discovered the bulging sack like discs into my spinal cord likely due to that event! My Dr denied it could cause pain or ANY other symptoms.
I also have bouts of EXTREMELY BAD Gerd.
Please tell me, this could all be traced to this condition???
Interesting. I wonder what role trauma plays in causing/contributing to achalasia (or even multiple trauma over time)?
That's a really good question! I myself was wondering if chronic anxiety or trauma contributes to the development of this
@stephanie r I have lived this nightmare for 20 plus years since a neck/ sacrum injury in 1998. So injury - Yes. But also scoliosis can cause instability and misalignment. The stability of the sacrum/ pelvis also influences the neck and lower skull and can cause these problems and more. Watch every video you can on this channel. Dr. Hauser is wonderful. The neck - critical to everything.
That’s what I’m wondering. I hope he responds to this question.
I’m having a VSG or Gastric sleeve surgery. Will solve my weight, diabetes and motility issues. I think my previous surgery or the diabetes caused it. But this may help others.
I have acute POTS/CFS/Fibro. Have to work extensively for several years now to retain my life with acupuncture and natural medicines. Treading water for so long so needed further assistance and by this time I have tried most options. I found mudras (hand yoga) and very quickly noticed relief then suddenly stomach gurgling. My digestion capabilities kicking back in and digestion is gradually improving. I work with liver healing mudras. I also do deep breathing, singing, chanting all to help repair the vagil tone. All organs affected and I am getting more and more relief as I continue to work. I do a particular mudra after eating and it helps the digestion process. Great book "Healing Mudras" by Yogi Nataraj. Also working now with mudras for the kidneys, heart, lungs and brain.
My son acquired this condition at age 12. He’s now 28 and every meal he eats is painful. His occurred at the base of his esophagus.
athanasius?
Can a thyroid nodule thats 4.5 cm compress on any nerves on the neck that cause issues swallowing? Sinus issues? Reflux?!
My lord, Dr you are very knowledgeable on many areas. I have had neck issues from 4 times whiplash over many years plus repetitive work aggravating neck, back, shoulders etc. I really wished there were experts like YOU (or even actually you)here in Perth west Australia.
Some of my family members have digestive, problems eating, nausea and pain issues but unsure if their Doctors have looked into the Vagus nerve area of things. I’ve shred your video with them just now I guess to see if they feel it’s relevant.
So many times the GPS or specialists we see are blind to things “outside” the square if you get my drift. Often just sticking with the usual or common medical causes they know n have sealed with instead of “really” going further n deeper beyond to investigate and find causes.
Too many times I’ve had doctors say..”well it all seems ok” or “hmm, we can’t really find much problem their ….so?”
After I had a fall causing a colles wrist fracture 4 years ago “I “ actually informed the hospital doctor who tended me that I had CRPS and soon after telling THEM I had discovered I now have Dupuytrens Contracture! 😳 it was by really taking note of what I was going thru symptoms wise and researching online reading reports, case studies and people with same symptoms that I told them these findings… I was correct btw…lol
They confirmed but said the DC was hereditary, I disagreed and said I felt it was triggered but the fracture and trauma.
I still have sharp pain in right wrist n up forearm now and luckily the DC in that hand has only caused nodules and pulling into the centre of palm under lil finger and ring finger from both base of palm and thumb side with only minimal restrictions of straightening those two fingers out.
I’m awaiting an orthopaedic specialist appointment and will be asking about or whether radiation therapy is a choice.
Thank you for such an in-depth session, as a non medical professional alot goes over my head but at the same time I’ve understood what you were explaining (maybe just not “all” the medical terms etc) but it’s certainly very interesting.
Stay well. I’ve subscribed n look forward to watching n learning more from you. Lisa

What a brilliant doctor. Do you have any colleagues with clinics in the New Orleans area or anywhere in Louisiana ? Please let me know. Thank you for all your helpful, insightful and game changing videos.
clear and concise presentation. tyvm!
This explains things that I understand my health lots more. I have had front neck surgery twice n back surgery twice. I get strangled lots n scares me to death n the surgeon said if they have to go back into neck anymore it would close throat more.I can not eat my dinner at one time ,I have to eat part n have to wait to eat more
Awesome suffering with this all my life it's wonderful when tagamant come out so glad to see it's been looked at differently now
I have some plumbing back ground, and your presentation was easy for "JOE" to understand more so with the visual.
Just how delicate is the vagus nerve?
I developed a swallowing issue some years ago. Things just don't seem to move freely in the throat anymore.
Since developing the swallowing issue my health overall seems to have deteriorated massively. Could it be a vagus nerve issue?
me too but I have herniated disc's c2 c3 c4 c5 c6
I had a minor swallowing issue…was NOT my main symptom…turns out I had hypercalcemia & 2 of my parathyroid glands were enlarged…(you have 4 teeny glands the size of a piece of rice when normal functioning). After removal of two enlarged glands, my issues resolved. Has to be confirmed with high calcium & pth blood tests.
O
would an endoscopy have found this? or only the barium swallow imaging of the lower esophagus like you showed?
No, you need a high res manometry to measure the pressure in the esophagus and LES.
Yes I don't make chyme very well...when I have to throw up because the food's just been sitting on my stomach for so long, the food is still recognizable just chewed. Thanks for this video. It's makes so much sense!
Superb presentation💯. I work with a surgeon who treats this problem and other esophageal disorders with surgery. This doctor sounds like the prof from Ferris Buehler's Day Off movie😄
Can you get the pressure off my Vegas nerve before it's too late ? I'd love to come through to florida and be seen by you.
You've described me. 63 & 93#. How do I find a Dr. to listen to me?
Thank you!!! You explained my symptoms...c6 x 2 surgery, chronic GERD, burning pain at R Quad from jugular down to groin, right ankle swelling last few weeks, they thought I was nuts! I knew it was nerve damage!!! Feels like all RH organs are malfunctioning!
Last week stopped the nexius, 2 Tbls of ACV, 1 tsp honey, squirt of real lime, 8oz water, mix, drink AM & PM... guess what NO PAIN & Heartburn 90% gone! Anxiety? Of course!
@@radram157 great you stopped the medium and found natural remedy. Always try natural before any pharmaceuticals..they can be very dangerous to your health. Always research before blindly following doctor orders.
Thank you for your reply. I can't believe the relieve - so soon..today is the first day in ohh maybe 5 yrs no reflux, over 10 yrs no burning in the rh quad...I want to give my Gastrologist a pc of mind. More importantly, I knew better, yes, always Nat'l!! Dandelions are next!!
I am curious if this problem is related to gut health from an overgrowth of Candida Albicans? Or, a TMJ misalignment? I have both.
SO interesting and makes so much sense. I'm curious what may be causing an increase in these vagus nerve degenerations.
Could it be COVID or vaccine related I wonder
Many people are getting diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder because the medical profession cannot explain unusual symptoms?
Great information !
Thank you so much for this informative video. I have dealt with GERD for many years. I take Prevacid for it. I also have what pulmonologist decided must be laryngeal sensory neuropathy. I have had a severe chronic cough for years. I can’t help but think the two conditions are related. Not sure where I will go from here, but I’m learning all I can.
All some chiro has to do is put ur flap back in lol it is super easy
@@tinabrink9044 what is put you flap back in? I would like to know more please
@@candy-dg3ys at the bottom of breast bone is esophagus flap.
@@tinabrink9044 ok yes thats the Nissen Fundoplication surgery. Thanks.. I had that surgery done about 7 years ago
Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) helped my friend incredibly. She'd been on antacids for years, then had Schatzki's ring surgery, and was put on Protonix, indefinitely! - it's a proton pump inhibitor which is VERY bad for you, and is usually only prescribed for 90 days tops. BUT this doctor said she would have to stay on it! The longer you take PPIs, the greater your risk of early death- literally a 51 percent increased risk of premature death found in people taking them for a year or more. Thanks doc! 🤬
Taking antacids longterm period is not much better. There's studies out there and lawsuits too.
I can't remember the exact mechanism of action of the black seed oil but I do remember that it had many healing qualities and seemed for sure something to try. She started with capsules and at first she felt like she was burping them sometimes but eventually it seem to subside. She then added a good probiotic, which I'm assuming helped in the absorbtion of the black seed oil as well as everything else, and found nigella sativa in a powder form with higher amount of active components. Prior to all of this she had swallowing problems and gerd so bad she had to have her work schedule catered to her around her ability to eat and digest - she could NOT lay down or recline at all for at least 3 to 4 hours after eating, and even then she was still woken up throughout the night with issues and stayed exhausted. She also thought she was lactose intolerant! ALL of it went away. She was able to quit taking the proton pump inhibitor, and whatever that stuff is people take before eating dairy, and all antacids and doesn't have to cater her whole life around her ability to swallow and digest. Plus tell that dr to kiss her ****. Very interesting disorder, and although I have not experienced it I definitely feel for anyone who has to go through ANYTHING like it after seeing what all my friend had to go through. She literally couldn't eat on a 30 min lunch break! It may not be exactly the same thing you're going through but it's worth checking into because there were soooo many healing qualities to black seed oil it was mind blowing. It's even used in traumatic brain injury! Which is how I found it, researching for my daughter her suffered a TBI in an auto accident.
Also another thing is glutathione levels, it's the body's main antioxidant and low levels affect EVERYTHING, as well as reduce our bodies ability to rid itself of toxins (like heavy metals in all the food). We're ALL low in this unless we're perfectly healthy. Selenium increases glutathione, it plays a very important role in so much but we don't ever think about it. Also an even faster way to increase glutathione levels and help the body detox is N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) - an amino acid that also is used in everything from tardive diskinesia and Parkinsons to kidney issues and lung issues -and works so well it must be the reason why the FDA tried to ban it and Amazon quit selling it! Fortunately it's still available
I've now had two tachycardia incidents with Gerd er visits in the past 1.5yrs and have had pantoprazol issued both times of which I only took for a few weeks to calm stuff down each time but also have anxiety issues affecting as well. I do have every so often stretching or slow swallows happening and anxiety for no reason at random times for as long as I can remember. I was diagnosed with IBS 21years ago. This all sounds so familiar including the headaches. Maybe I should visit a chiropractor my wfh computer posture is terrible I wouldn't doubt it's all linked. Makes so much sense
Thst horrible med pantoprazole nearly ruined me. Gave me severe headaches and severe anxiety. Never take that poison it will ruin you. Dont understand how it is still on the market. Many people suffered on that poison med. Acid reducers are terrible. Find natural remedy not dangerous pharmaceuticals
Chiro won’t help you
Achalasia started at age of 10 ( Now @ 31 ). Done 2 pneumatic dilations ..I can eat normally but have some issues at present
I have neck issues...
Dr Ross you are amazing, this video just defined my condition. My voice cords glue together sometimes for Many seconds. If they don't get open, I get suffocated. I cannot breath at All. My doctors do not believ it. 400 kg hit over my head and body, 6 years ago. The said, Nothing can be done. Can I do prolotherapy for my selv? Without x-ray. I am not in USA. If you have a video for self treating, I will buy. God bless you.
You, sir. Are a good Dr. I will share this!
Thank you so much
I wonder if a neck brace would help .. ?
Thank you for this information! I need to find a way to get from Houston to you ASAP- Here's a revised version of your text with improved grammar:
I was diagnosed in 2010 and underwent a Heller’s Myotomy with Fundoplication. I traveled to Chicago to see an Achalasia surgeon; however, a day or two after the surgery, the surgeon noticed I was one of his rare failures. Since then, I’ve been receiving dilations once or twice a year. My spasms have been severe. Recently, I was also diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and have herniated discs. I feel it's definitely related to my nerve issues. I experience neck pain and numbness frequently. I've been advised I have level 4 Achalasia and should consider an esophagectomy. However, as a parent of three young children, I don't feel ready. Additionally, I fear that if the nerve is the root cause, I may continue facing issues even after a partial removal.
Great information! Thanks for sharing.
