See my fight-flight nerve (Stellate Ganglion)

I've had my left Amygdala (and Hippocampus) removed due to a malignant brain tumor. Isn't the Amygdala responsible for our fight/flight response? 🧠💜

Hey doc, can you please make a video on how to combat fear of Anasthesia. I'm someone who gets really anxious and I'm sure they are many people out there. Can you make a video explaining breathing exercises/techniques how to stay calm before surgery.

Btw love watching your videos, your very compassionate and kind.

Thanks Doc 😊

Doc is up early.

Can you talk about post emergent delirium and some common causes and what you have in your arsenal to combat (ha) it? I can't do midazolam or precedex and am starting to wonder what will happen if I have an emergency...

thank you for your wonderful input to human health! My Qs: is Ganglion Stellatum comprised only by Sy fibers? Doesn’t it show anastomosing with PSy fibers from the Vagus? 2. In your practice , have you found that blocking the Sy has better effects than stimulating the Vagal structures ( if such a clear-cut division is possible in reality)? THANK YOU 🙏🙏

Does it help to massage them regularly?

Fascinating

Is there any research on this area for relief for PTSD?

Why doesn't anyone tell you about this procedure. My fight flight response is constantly on and so is being on autopilot. Would love to talk to you about care and chronic pain. How do we get in touch with you

I feel I would benefit from this. I wish I knew about it sooner.

As a generic office worker, I no longer need to fight or run away. Feel free to just remove that stuff when I'm on the operating table. Thanks in advance 🧠

So interesting 🤔

Wow!!!! My sister's cancer started near there, we all said it was stress induced.

That's what I need numbed.. instead of being on Xanax for years

Which specialist would one have to go to for that? Neurologist?

But the blocks are only temporary, not permanent. Marcaine only lasts a short time. ARE you saying that this block can train a person to relax?

Super cool Dr.K!

I SEE YOUR CHEST HAIR DOCTOR ❤😱❤️‍🔥🥳🎉

What helps that Fight Flight Response when you are not around to block it?

That's pretty cool I've seen it in horses it's big!!! Horses are flight or fight animals , neat to see it in humans

What?!?! I did not know this was a thing!!!

I would LOVE that!

Is it possible for that to be blocked more permanently besides having to take medicine for people with a lot of long term ptsd? Like is there such a procedure that could help that???

Does it work for Ceraire malformation of the brain

I wish you had been my anasteoligist when I had my son via C-section a few years ago. The epidural actually WORE OFF and I begged to get more pain relief. I was denied, to the point where they cut into me when I wasn't totally numb... Good times.

John Q Public greatly appreciates your taking the time to share w/us all the marvels of human physiology. Thank you!

Is there something similar for anxiety?!!

Education expands our nervous system.
One more reason to look forward to my hip replacement surgery next week. Seriously, at 73 it’s going to be a boost to untangle ptsd and open my horizons, thanks to Dr. Kavey’s amazing share: that when he numbs his patients at c6 satellite …

How do you numb nerves?

Protect this man at all cost

Is there help w severe depression anxiety ptsd n chronic neurological pain due to a spinal cord injury

If I could numb this nerve I will heal my chronic illness.

Can I have some please?

Will it help with flight or fight response due to agoraphobia? I suffer so bad 😢

Under what circumstances would you do this procedure?

Years ago when I was stupid, I had a guy shoot up heroin in my neck vein cuz my arm veins were hard to hit(not because they were gone, they were never used, just hard to hit, even doctors have a hard time) and he must've missed a little because I felt a sharp pain and then had this numbness in my neck down to my collarbone and whenever I would press on it, it felt numb like no feeling but then I would get a zapping pain like I was being shocked! Did I go to the doctor? No, I was stupid. Remember? 😂🤦🏽‍♀️. After about 1.5yrs of dealing with that it eventually went away. Literally thank God.. (I had him hit me in my neck veins because I could make them pop out so they were m easier to hit. It wasn't until I saw the shock on hardcore heroin users face when I told them I'd go in my neck vein that I realized how dangerous it was.. I was a dumb teen. Lucky to be alive especially since that's not the worse that's happened to me throughout my life. Don't do drugs!

Do u take insurance

How many treatments are needed usually? And how often are treatments required?
Thank you for a possible reply.

Nah i need it to survive 😂

Cool

Anytime for severe Panic Disorder. Would love that gone 😔 Love your channel.

How long do the injections affect a person?

I wish we could massage this or something at home! I need this ! Poke now !

Can the stellity ganglion nerve numbing br good for treatment resistant anxiety?

Is this the same as or connected to the vagus nerve?

Hello Dr!! Does that procedure help w chronic anxiety that is not diagnosed as PTSD?

Can you use this for pots or dysautonomia inappropriate sinus tachycardia?

Can this help TMJ disorder from stress?

How long does it last?

Would this help for chronic pelvic/genital pain if the central nervous system is the main driver? Are there any life threatening risks?
