Suggest Treatment For Gag Reflex Causing Increased Heart Rate
Hi, I have a problem that when i am surfing i will gag/throwup when it seems my heart rate goes up while i am diving under waves to get back out. This never happened to me for many years, and limits my confidence in the ocean now that this has been goinon for over 7 years. I have seen 3 doctors and 1 ear/nose /throat/ specialist and asked everyone i know in ths time if they have ever heard of this thing. The doctors say they don't know either.
I recently noticed that sometimes when my heart rate rose while ridin my bike i would have similar symptoms. Here is a little history I think may have something to do with it.
I spent 8 years using an old abandoned cannery that was spacious but moldy(mostly in winter rains in california) as a practice studio with other musicians. Spores, I dont know. I just want to get my breathing and confidence back so i can enjoy the ocean as safe as possible. thank you, Mark.
