Hello, my wife was recently diagnosed with a glomus vagale, paraganglioma in the vagus nerve on the right side of her neck. She had experienced a momentary blindness while driving and was being checked out for a possible minor stroke, and the MRA showed that her arterial passages in the neck and head were clear, but that the carotid artery was being displaced by the tumor which had previously been undetected. She also had elevated blood pressure when she went in for the checkup, and her blood pressure has continued to increase since that time a couple of months ago. We have spoken to several people (PhDs) who are medical researchers who have indicated that this might possibly be caused by the displacement of the baroreceptors in her carotid sinus. However, her medical doctors do not believe that this a feasible cause. Any suggestions are possible known similar cases?
