Suffered Schwanoma, Damaged Vagus Nerve. Had Oral Surgery For Wisdom Tooth, Symptoms Worsened. Why?
husband suffered a schwanoma on the 7th cranial nerve...had 5 weeks of linear exel radition...16 years ago...damage to the Vagus nerve...has to take high doses of lorazapam in order to breath and keep balance. Also has the sensation that his head, ears and eyes are double in size. Feels terrible every day and very difficult for him to function. Two weeks had oral surgery for a bad impacted wisdom tooth and his symptoms have worsened and we really don't know why.
I have been in touch with just about every clinic and specialist and not one person can or could shed any light onto my husband's condition. He is really at his wits end as he does not want to live the rest of his life like this.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I think the previous surgery and the present complain has nothing to do with each other, he may have some functional elements, and that need to be rule out, I would suggest you to have opinion from psychiatric, but before going for that, give a good moral support to your husband, try to spend more time with him, have a words with him discus the problems he has, encourage him that he will get well soon, this could work try it, have nice day.
