Vagal Nerve Damage from Radiation

SuzJ

To be honest I thought I was losing my mind.

The head of the radiation Dept just said one day... I think you have a rare unknown side effect. They are running studies, I'll add you!

Talked to a wonderful dr, who has since retired, who knew exactly what was going on!

If you feel faint, drink something that's ice cold, it raises your BP a little, but enough

Hello, Hard12Find, I believe this is hard to diagnose.

Hi, all. After this thread came up and discussed the Vagal Nerve, I remembered a post I made a while back from information I came across on another site discussing a similar happening, I think. I don't know if the 2 are related or connected, but I thought I would post the link to the thread, and anyone who wants can check it out. I am always hoping it helps someone.

"Baroreflex" Failure" A Rare Late Effect Of Radiation Treatment

I had radiation and chemo for tongue cancer in 2013-2014. While I am now cancer-free in 2020 I am suffering from Baroreflex Failure, a rare late effect of radiation treatment. Basically, it means that all control of my blood pressure is now gone forever. My systolic readings can range from 65 to 235 for no reason, all within an hour. There is no treatment, but some management can be achieved through medication. I can't find anyone else who has been through what I am experiencing. I am now a ticking time bomb, in fear of my life even while being cancer-free.
