<Explanation>
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.
