Structural High Blood Pressure- Neck instability can affect blood pressure, even in healthy people
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Ross Hauser, MD explains how the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves are involved in regulating blood pressure and how these nerves can be impaired due to upper cervical instability, resulting in abnormal blood pressure. This can happen in otherwise healthy people, which can leave the patient and provider frustrated and trying medications that may not be the best long term option.

Hey Dr Hauser, as a long-time subscriber with chronic symptoms myself, I genuinely want to thank you so much for fighting to bring cervical instability into the light. Just reading the comments on your videos it's almost unbelievable to me how many other people are suffering without treatment for their dysautonomia and conditions related to the upper spine. And to anyone else reading this who might be in a lot of pain, you are not alone. Keep learning and smiling and counting each blessing. Never give up, you never know when luck might meet you. Let's remember that each year we are being blessed more and more with medical treatment more readily available to us through channels like this one!
God bless you doc for healing my high blood pressure completely, after 5 years of suffering from High blood pressure thank you sir i appreciate your good work♥️.
This doctor is a scientist.
Is there a list of Dr.s as knowable on neck issues as Dr. Hauser?
I have terrible left side neck pain that's been getting worse for 22 years. It's electrified pain going between left shoulder blade and left side of the tongue and all points in between.
Have big calcium welding vertebrae together.
VA hospital Dr's call it a pre existing personality disorder.
It's affecting blood pressure now.
I would cut off an arm or leg if that's where the pain was, can't cut head off!
This Dr. Is far the most knowledgeable I've ever herd!
Information on the subject of the neck is rare and priceless.
Most are clueless on the subject.
I have HTN and tachycardia. I’m on 3 BP medications. I have lost my gag reflex and have extremely sensitive eyes to the point that I’m developing ptosis and have difficulty opening my eyes. That’s just the tip of the iceberg with my issues! I have gastroparesis, daily tinnitus, chronic neck pain and cracking/crunching. Honestly…too many symptoms to list. I really need to mage an appointment!
im wondering if my vagus nerve is damaged i have chronic fatigue or adrenal fatique. my eyes are light sensitive. my vision gets situationally blurry dependant on either diet, caffiene, sleep quality, or stress on my body. i wish could get help from you.
Love this, thank you.
My blood pressure peaks for no reason . I have a really worn neck making me feel off balance ,eye problems, bad neck pain .unsteady walking . Anyone else like this ? Oh also pulsative tinnitus.
I too have the symptoms you are describing and add to that difficulty swallowing. Are you seeing any specialist to help alleviate your symptoms? I am seeing a Chiropractor now and to hopefully gain some of my mobility back and off-balance walking issues. Best regards
@L Padilla thanks for replying I have been going to the chiropractor but won't touch my neck now . I'm having an Mri scan first week of March so hopefully will find out what's going on .
@@jeffto23ify Anything new? Did you have your mrt?
I have all of it. Tinnitus about 20 years ago but instability last 5 years
My blood pressure fluctuates from 30 to 40 points why is that special when I have anxiety😢
Same here
Very good Video, Thank you.
I also have had cspine surgery at 5 and 6. My neck is still causing pain and I have dizziness and balance issues.
Hi Dale. I would look at getting prolotherapy to help tighten your neck ligaments. It works and can cause all the issues you have developed.
I have a lot of neck issues due to multiple auto accidents. Going into a full 2nd year of extreme low blood pressure and my Dr doesn’t seem to care. Avg at times is 75/54. While other times it’s near normal.
Brilliant Doc❤
Thanks for watching
Syringomyelia and pain? Is it good to take meds? It’s in the mid thoracic at widest point, but runs the length of the cord.
great video
I suddenly have high blood pressure after doing yoga (no headstand, but sun salutations). I feel it's related to my neck. I have pain in my neck and head since then, too. I went to the osteopath but still it remains. Not as bad thought. I also have jaw muscle issues. Will check out what you say. Thank you.
Hey Ishana!
Please be careful with eastern stuff like yoga! That's not what people think it usually is.
It is actually connected to the spirit world...
Could damage to the vagus nerve cause my right arm to measure considerably higher blood pressure than my left? I bought a vagus nerve stimulator product and began using it. Then noticed a 'whooshing' sound in my right ear only which led to discovering the difference in blood pressure on that side. And it seems like my body can't regulate. It will be high one day and then low the next. And sometimes 30 points difference on the top number between the arms.
Can craniocervical instability cause random vomiting and dry heaving? Nearly every day I wake up and dry heave like clockwork. I dont even feel sick most times. Just a spasm like feeling in the back of my throat and a gagging feeling. Its not acid reflux, GERD, or anything like that.
I would suggest you go to an gastro doctor and tell him your symptoms. Have a written history of accidents, symptoms, etc. so he can look it over. Did you ever have a whiplash type injury?
I am on metaprolol. Makes me feel awful and I have increased depression.
Yes ... autonomic dysreflexia
Hi am Male, I have both knee pain and snapping sounds , i am 22 years old , I never felt that before in my young age, is it possible that I developed ligaments laxity? And what can cause it at age of 22 ?pls
No family history related
Hi Dr. Hauser hope all is well in FL. I wanted to ask a question. I was told I have an 8° rotation in C1. I have alot of neurological symptoms that I've been told Is just anxiety, However I don't have pain In my neck. I don't understand how it could be so displaced without pain.
Some people have symptoms with no pain. Did you ever have a whiplash type injury?
You probably have transient axonal transport injury from sustained mild compression/traction. Could also be vascular compression of nerve roots, often the PICA artery making contact with one or more of the cranial nerves (there's a new paper out on this).
@u2b83 can u comment the link to that paper please?
Hi Doc, what do you feel about high isolated diastolic. BP? i commonly have anxiety and panic attacks due to poor posture and neck instability, but my high BP seems to be always on the Diastolic (normally between 80-90)? My systolic is almost always below 125 and there seem to be very less information regarding the diastolic BP. Thanks
Same condition
Can compression of the vagus nerve cause adrenal and cortisol to rise?
While the vagus nerve itself does not directly cause an increase in cortisol or adrenal activity, conditions that compress or otherwise impair the function of the vagus nerve could potentially contribute to a dysregulated stress response. This is because if the vagus nerve is unable to perform its usual function of promoting relaxation and reducing stress, the sympathetic nervous system (which triggers the stress response) may become more dominant.
My instability is so bad with nerve damage 😔
Same
I have high blood pressure & sinus tachycardia & I was diagnosed with it after my car accident(never had it) I also had an acute concussion, and after the accident,my heart rate would go up 160-180 , shortness of breath , high blood pressure, dizziness no matter what I was doing had to immediately lay down & had tons of chest pain & pressure in left arm. Everything came back normal with primary & ER VISITS. Pushed to see a cardiologist they diagnosed w tachycardia. Primary doctor got a couple high readings of blood pressure we started to monitor it. A month or so by after the accident I still didn’t feel good , I noticed that my bowel movement began to slow down, at first after the accident I was constantly having bowel movements (from nervousness) & then it just turned into constipation &. But I asked to get an ultra sound to be sure nothing was wrong turns out I have sludge in my gallbladder…. Fast forward still feeling off so I pushed for an mri, because I was constantly feeling dizzy, like I was going to pass out, off balance & felt my body leaning to one side as I would walk or stand ,I just felt really off with lots of tension headaches . We found a cavernous malformation in my right frontal lobe .. then I found out I was pregnant the same day I got that news, so time goes by seen a neurologist, he doesn’t think the malformation is the cause for all the dizziness& off balance & headaches & stated I was born with it & will keep an eye on it..and we can’t do much since I’m pregnant. But then I finally see an ent, because I feel like I would have a lot of pressure in my face around my right eye / ears/ throat & he said everything looks normal if anything changes to come back.. now waiting to be seen again because I started hearing my heart beat in right ear, a wooshing sounds, and weird tingling feeling & when I turn my head to the left I can hear my heart beat & sometime when I move I can hear it speed up and slow down & experiencing lots of headaches around my temporal lobe & it’s very sensitive to touch, in that area & it’s become very bother some and worry some. I’m still dealing with high blood pressure , doc bearly want to start me on meds & I’m already going into my 3rd trimester& still seeing a cardiologist to be sure the palpitations & flutters & skipped beats are nothing serious. Because after I eat my blood pressure rises & my heart rate goes up, I can’t stand in the shower for to long without getting dizzy or my heart rate jumping , I am 25 years old and I just don’t feel healthy at all. I have come across a doctor that told me I needed to see a psychiatrist because what I was feeling is just anxiety, I was told by a labor & delivery nurse I should just suck up my symptoms like she tell her 12 year old son , and that I need not to overthink them & many other responses everything looks “normal” & it told it doesn’t sound like pots either & I’m like okay what do I do now? I will not stop advocating for myself & standing up for myself either, I will always get a second opinion, but was thinking if I should try getting adjusted by a chiropractor
How u now?...me also same symptoms
U slip disc from neck?
I have a similar problem after training my neck in a wrong way, heart palpitations sympathetic nerveus system overactive etc
How u nw...me also same prob.... shortness breathing 😢

Hi Hauser, do you have clinic in Houston. I want to get my neck checked for hypertension. Thank you
Hi lettylett1122- We do not, but we do see patients from all over Texas and the US in our Fort Myers, Florida clinic. If travel is an option for you, you're always welcome to reach out to us directly. Wishing you all the best in healing!
I'm 60 next January. I've got Hight BP getting readings as high as 210/113. I'm running 40 miles per week and swimming 5 miles per week. I can run 5K in 18.30. I'm not overweight only 67kg for 171cm. I don't drink alcohol or smoke. I've tried everything to get it to normal numbers. My doctor wants me on meds, but so far refused them. The thing is after I've been running, my heart rate is about 60-65 and the BP comes down to maybe 150/92. But gradually as my pulse gets lower down to 42, my BP goes back up to 180/100 and more. So low heart rate, high BP. I often have s very stiff neck, and now wondering if this is why my BP is high.
Neck MRI is a good start, better yet with and without contrast to see the vessels. You can get a cheap "openmri" out of pocket for $350 at some private offices in the US.
I wanted to tell you go to ER immediately, but then i saw comment date.
Are you still alive?Those numbers, , refusing meds, doing so much exercise, and being still alive, together is absurdly, astronomically ridiculous. Hope you share experience because you are a medical marvel.
@@insanixgames Yes, still alive and still got high BP, still training, and racing. Did a 10K last week in 39.35.
I have had a case of lightheadedness for 7 years now. I have been to my regular doctor, cardiologist, neurologist. Vein doctor, physical therapy, eye, ear, nose throat doctor and no one has been able to help . I had a pacemaker put in after being diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome…bradycardia. Still lightheaded. Put on BP meds 19 years now with bouts of high BP that warranted ER visit twice. Highest was 221/131. Changed diet. Was taken off BP meds a month and a half ago and experiencing some spikes in pressure but I can control with deep breathing and acupressure. Still lightheaded and feel miserable when BP is low….like one reading of 78/49.
Any suggestions to further explore some alternatives that I haven’t tried? I am a senior and would like to have some normalization before I pass. 🙏
Hi Doctor, I have bulging disc in my neck C5/C6, and have a lot of pain/headache and burning in the back of my neck in the top of my spine going up to my head.
I also have bulging discs L1 up to S1. My blood pressure has really gone up! And I think its to do with the pain I'm in. The blood pressure medication doesn't seem to be working but beetroot juce does.
What would your advice be .
My BP goes up to over 200.
Too late i had a stroke from high blold pressure lefy messed up in balance and 4:42 eye
Stress raising my blood pressure
Hi Richard - thanks for watching. The vagus nerve plays a huge role in regulating blood pressure. When it is damaged or compressed it can affect one's blood pressure, the silent killer of the heart... we would love to help you get a proper diagnosis, if travel is feasible we would absolutely love to see you!
Thank where are you located
About to have an mri on my neck at last i have hypertension tinnitus arm pain both arms my meds for hypertension have just been increased 3 times in the last 2 years doc has just been treating symptoms for the last 10years and also my hart rate also drops below 50 at rest
Any updates?
Dr Hauser I get high blood pressure during my sleep at night time but my blood pressure is low to normal when I am awake
Check for sleep apnea
I have a big problem I do take 160mg of propranolo as hormones over ride lots of meds Yep I get AD as well .. Best thing I found that works is Diazepam .as it relaxes the muscles over the T spine and drops my BP...hormones I think is from the C1 neurons not adrenal glands ... I say I have a spine problem from a car crash in 2005 and I hit in the Cerebellum and I have AD.. my doctors are clueless or just use BMI As I'm a land walker.... Just had a mri on Kidneys the tracer set the AD off big time..Its probably an injury to the RVLM and a stretch? In the Basilar ...And I think I'm think! You are right about the meds and cardiovascular
@Thevwmethod - We are so sorry to hear that you are going through these challenges and aren't heard by your doctors. We are praying that you can find some answers and hope to meet you in person in the future! Hang in there and trust that the Lord has a plan!
Spinal and Cerebellar Injury: Injury to the spine and cerebellum can indeed lead to complex neurological and autonomic symptoms. The C1 region and the cerebellum are critical for various functions, including coordination, balance, and autonomic control.
Role of Hormones: Hormones can have a profound effect on various bodily functions, including blood pressure and heart rate. It's possible that hormonal fluctuations could exacerbate your symptoms.
Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD): This is a condition that can occur in individuals with spinal cord injuries, leading to sudden and severe high blood pressure. It's a medical emergency and needs to be managed carefully.
Concerns about RVLM and Basilar Artery: The Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla (RVLM) is involved in blood pressure regulation, and any damage to it could potentially affect this regulation. The basilar artery, being a major blood supply to the brain, if compromised, can also have significant implications.
The problem is it's a Upper motor neuron that has goon to UMNS onny yesterday I got the Baclofen I been asking for For years its helps but something in demzpan works better.. as the spasticity from elbow to elbow down to sphincter is still holding BP high
