Anxiety relief while doing tests...

[TrapperJohnMD]

Anyone try to decrease the old HR by carotid massage? I did and about choked myself out. Quiz: what nerve controls the afferent portion and where does it lead to in the brain??? Oh God, choking myself again.....

Heh, Glossopharyngeal is the afferent. Can't remember the nucleus though.

Nucleus solitarius? Definitely label this as the highest of high yield information.

I concur

It's good to see that there is someone else that watches Top Gear on here.

is it solitary nucleus?

hahaha... i love the carotid massage method, btw. better choke than do the valsalva and end up with poop on your pants. but then i guess you can say, the test was so hard i **** my pants.

I actually remembered the name of the nucleus later but felt lazy to post it again. Soiltary nucleus. Anyway, seriously how would use it to relieve anxiety?? It's a common cause of death in forensic medicine!

I have a quick and easy way of relieving anxiety after I'm done with my tests. . .
