Vagus Nerve

So after Kaybri's whole ordeal last week, we sought out two different doctors for answers and they seem to agree that what had happened to cause her fainting was a Vagus Nerve Stimulation. The Vagus Nerve runs from the brain stem down through the neck and eventually reaching the abdomen. When she threw up, it stimulated this nerve causing the heart to slow down and then for her to faint. We've learned that many factors can stimulate this nerve such as persistent hiccups, vomiting, rapid swallowing, stress, difficult bowel movement, urination and more. These things can possibly cause her heart to slow or even, in rare cases, stop. At this point, the doctors do not seem overly concerned. The only thing that appears to cause this stimulation in Kaybri is vomiting. There doesn't seem to be any necessary treatments or anything. Our best suggestion is to simply lay her flat with her chin up (to give her a good airway) and let her heart rate pick up. If the heart stops (although it is unlikely) initiate CPR and call 911. . . Just another thing to keep us on our toes I guess!
