Long CoVid Speaking and Swallowing Problems

CoVid viruses can damage the vagus nerve, critical for speaking, swallowing, proper digestion, and control of heart rate. German infectious disease researchers conducted intense studies of 30 individuals with long CoVid and an average age of 44 years. Eighty percent were women. Two sets of controls were used: 14 who fully recovered from CoVid; and 16 who were never CoVid-infected.

The long CoVid patients had vagus nerve thickening on neck ultrasound imaging, reduced esophageal motility, and a higher incidence of hiatus hernia, that is stomach herniation into the chest.

This study indicates that CoVid infects and damages a critical nerve that controls so many of our vital functions. Add this to the list of other organs that CoVid compromises including the heart, lungs, brain, eyes, and kidneys.
