I have a hiatal hernia and, although I had a pre-existing psychiatric anxiety condition, I’m SO much worse since the hernia that I think my vagus nerve may be pinched or damaged. I’m currently dealing with such a level of anxiety that it’s difficult to focus on anything or do anything other than sit and stare at the walls. I want to go outside and scream. I feel as if I had drank 10 strong coffees; ants are crawling around inside. I might be better while in motion but I can’t move. I don’t have the ability to make good decisions right now. What are some ways I can fix this? I’ve tried two things that have worked before for vagus nerve-related anxiety: cold exposure and listening to music from the Calm app. But I really need help with this and there really isn’t anything I can do about it today.
