montgomery41, I, too, have a vagus nerve of some type, my neurologist tells me. My main symptom is a lightning bolt that runs from my feet to my head occasionally. Maybe 3-4 or up to 20 times per year. Even had a few during football games, or neighborhood rodeos. I can not offer any treatment, nor even know of any, but just a hope you will keep on keeping on. I am 80 years old now, and have had these for about 75 years. Ben Franklin had it easy. He only got shocked once. oldkarl
