I am about 1 yr post-op from neck surgery with titanium fusion and corpectomy.
The injury to my neck has created some heart trouble. Although my primary cardiologist said my heart organ is pretty much OK .... he and I suspect that the neck's vagus nerve may be causing the heart palpitations.
The heart palpitations are mainly on my right side (not on my Left side where my heart is ). The palpitations occur very frequently during the day and night. I also seem to be able to cause them if I put pressure on the neck ... I think that might be due to leaning on the intervertebral foramen that my orthopedic surgeon said he had "no knowledge about the nerves" from the surgery that he performed on me.
Does anybody have any resources, solutions, education that might help me?
Thank you.
