Dizziness, Stomach Cramps. Diagnosed Vegas Nerve. MRI And Blood Tests Normal.
Hello, I have been to the doctor several times for feeling sudden episodes of dizziness. I have even past out. My stomach then cramps. The doctor have suggested of my vegas nerve. I have had MRI's and blood tests and everything has came back normal. My blood pressure tends to run a little low, and my cholesterol is good. I'm lost to what to do next.

Hi and thanks for the query,
The vagus nerve as you suggest is part of the parasympathetic nervous system that slows heart rate and increase intestinal contractions and secretions. The opinion of a neurologist might be needed to confirm dizziness of vagus nerve origin. Low blood pressure or hypotension could as well result from excessive activity of the vagus nerve. I would strongly recommend the opinion of a neurologist. Kind regards
