What he told me was good news and I am pleased. Because they are uncomfortable, Doc told me to try vagal exercises and then the episode wouldn't last long. It kinda seems like you fix one thing and another pops up. Vagal maneuvers should have been described for you and include massage of one side of the neck with moderate pressure right on the area where you feel the carotid pulse, or coughing, or sometimes holding your breath and bearing down can stimulate the vagal nerve. I hope this information is useful.
