<Explanation>

It’s likely that ancient anatomists gave this nerve the strange name of the vagus nerve because they didn’t know where it went, since it goes to all the internal organs.The vagus nerve is also the boss of the parasympathetic nervous system throughout the body. It seems that most symptoms of autonomic nervous system imbalance can be explained by a decrease in the function of the vagus nerve.

The important thing to note here is that it is said that the function of the autonomic nervous system is to send much more information (70-80%) from the internal organs to the brain (called afferent fibers) than from the information sent from the brain to the internal organs (called efferent fibers).
But why do symptoms occur in the eyes and ears inside the head that have nothing to do with the neck?

That’s the most important part of solving the mystery. To solve the mystery, it’s easy to understand if you think about the evolutionary process of living things.

The parasympathetic nerves (which control the pupils, tear glands, saliva, Eustachian tubes, and eardrum vibrations) in the skull and the vagus nerve are now called different nerves, but they were originally one nerve. When the neck muscles become stiff and the function of the vagus nerve declines, symptoms such as glare, dry eyes, and ear congestion occur.And finally, it leads to depression, which has recently become a rapidly increasing social problem.

If there is a connection between the neck muscles and the autonomic nervous system symptoms you have experienced so far, what could be the reason?

Well, let’s go on a journey to solve the mystery together. Headaches are a little different from the autonomic nervous system, so we’ll think about that later. But to begin with, there are two parts of the autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. Symptoms such as glare, dry eyes, blurred vision, and ear congestion are strongly related to the parasympathetic nervous system, and these symptoms appear when the parasympathetic nervous system is impaired.

Can the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and various symptoms such as throat discomfort, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, palpitations, etc. be clearly explained by a single cause?

This is actually quite easy to understand.Almost all of the internal organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities, including the digestive tract and heart, are controlled by a very famous nerve called the vagus nerve, which exits the skull, passes along both sides of the front of the neck, and goes to the thoracic and abdominal cavities.

<Explanation>

When we consider the various symptoms that are common to whiplash injury and autonomic nervous system disorders, such as headache, discomfort in the throat, nausea, stomach discomfort, stomach pain, gastroesophageal reflux disease, abdominal bloating, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, glare, dry eyes, tinnitus, hearing loss, and muffled sounds, they can first be divided into those that are related to the digestive tract, and then those that are related to the heart rate, headaches in the head, and those that are relatedto the eyes such as glare and dry eyes, and also those that are related to the eardrums.

Because whiplash causes the wide range of symptoms mentioned above, patients often visit internal medicine, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, and neurosurgery specialists, but the cause is never determined, so they end up visiting a psychosomatic medicine specialist or a psychiatrist. Each doctor diagnoses the symptoms based on their own area of expertise, and the true cause is never discovered.

Because the neck muscles are damaged in a rear-end collision, causing the above symptoms, we need to find a single cause that can explain everything.Although it is different from whiplash, the symptoms of orthostatic dysregulation (OD) are very similar to those of whiplash, which has recently become a social problem with a sharp increase in the number of elementary and junior high school students suffering from it. And if we can find a fundamental treatment for whi plash, there is a high possibility that it will be effective in treating not only orthostatic dysregulation (OD), but also so-called cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia and fibromyalgia.

<Explanation>

Autonomic nervous system imbalance is a disease name, or more accurately, a state, given to people who have vague complaints such as insomnia, difficulty waking up in the morning, lack of energy, headaches, dizziness, stomach problems, nausea, etc., and who have undergone various tests such as blood tests and brain CT or MRI scans, but no abnormalities are found.
When the symptoms worsen, depressive symptoms also appear, so the condition is often diagnosed as depression in psychosomatic medicine or psychiatry, and sleeping pills and tranquilizers are prescribed.

The various symptoms that appear 2-3 weeks after a rear-end collision or other accident (such as pain in the neck muscles, headache, nausea, etc.) are called whiplash aftereffects, and because they are similar to the symptoms of autonomic nervous system disorder, some people think that they may be related to disorders of the neck muscles and a that person is Dr. Matsui.
