Step I 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. . .
