A member asked:
Could tracheal inflammation irritate the vagus nerve and exacerbate anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, but for other much more common reasons, the inflamation itself may produce or worsen the anxiety. A dr examination can clarify the exact cause, and rule out possibilities in this case.
