So I am finding a very VERY consistent correlation with vertigo, dizziness, and vagus nerve responses with multiple scars under the armpit or along the ulnar/median nerve pathways. This includes combination Carpal tunnel, Cubital tunnel/ multiple trigger fingers releases and lacertus or guyon canal surgeries. When the pull of the skin is down towards this scars it can traction the sensory nerves in the skin behind the ear. This can get worse from sit to stand as you add skin and facia tension from the lower extremity. If the symptoms increase with standing then ask if your patient has had knee, hip, ankle or abdominal surgery.
The skin and fascia are connected and continuous through out the body.
We can fix this and help alot of people.

I have lots of drawings of thoughts and ideas. As always I have ruminated on these for a long time( years actually)
If someone has a vagal response in my classes or clinic it almost always has something to do the the Ulna nerve and the SFL (Fascia). Fear, anxiety, apprehension and avoidance is also here especially notes at the Ulna styloid and DCBUN.
Just some reflections that could helpful!

I often consult a Chinese meridian poster as well as a Chinese clock to help problem solve my patients. This is truly how I look at the body systems working together. The neural system is the only system that reports pain to the brain-why do we keep looking so deep for the answers?
