A member asked:
Does vagal nerve damage cause bradycardia? how can it be tested? is it treatable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The Vagus Nerve: Mediates lowered heart rate, especially during times of rest and sleep. If anything, decreased vagal tone (such as with vagal nerve damage, or with taking a vagolytic drug such as atropine) should cause tachycardia. Hope this helps!
