  • I have been having problem with my neck/throat the last 10
    I have been having problem with my neck/throat the last 10 months. It feels like I always have a lump on the left side of my throat and it i sore to the touch on the left side of my adams apple. I had my family docotr fell around ant he said nothing was wrong. I also have preoblems swallowing my saliva once in a while and it goes down the wrong "tube" (so to speak). It seems to be all the time but it is more pronounced when I am stressed.
    Any suggestions?

  • I have been under treatment for severe anxiety since March
    I have been under treatment for severe anxiety since March of this year. I am currently taking 40 mg citalapram, .5 mg lorazapram, 2-3 times and 1mg clonipin twice and of course the baby aspirin for my heart. None of this is working and I my doctor now wants me to see a psychiatrist to figure out a better cocktail for me. I do not want to be on meds for the rest of my life, however, when I have an attack, which is at least a once a day, my heart races and a occasionally skips beats. All tests show heart is normal. My question is I have heard of VNS, would I be a candidate for this?
