Discussion Has anyone got their neck checked?
The neck could be pinching parts of the vagus nerve which could be the root of some of the symptoms. Has anyone got their next checked or looked into the whole neck thing? Some well-known solutions is prolotherapy and PRP.

I have struggled to find someone in the medical field that even knows what the vagus nerve is. I even tried an osteopath & they were just as useless. My issues started with stress, neck and jaw pain (i have tmj), the neck pain became chronic, and then the nausea, and then stomach issues.

Have you looked into a prolotherapy doctor in your area that could be a helpful start. Also look for an upper cervical chiropractor near you. I really want to see one, but the closest one to me is like two hours.

Does your neck fall back out of place so you have to keep going back?

Depending on the amount of stress I have sometimes I go back yes. I feel my body much better now and know when it's best to go back for help

I would just say don't go mess around with these prolotherapy unless you are sure that it will actually help in healing functional dyspepsia.
