Bad reaction to massage with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Has anyone else with thoracic outlet syndrome ever had a really bad reaction to a massage? I had bad nausea, sweating, a headache, flushed face, feeling hot and sick and needed to go rest. It came on suddenly during the massage and while I was laying face down.

Probably some products or scents in the room that might have triggered you. Hard to say but could be a combination.

Yes this has happened to me and even after my surgery for TOS and still have that issue. I have had to just give them up

Massages generally help my TOS more than most things, but I do get some of these symptoms when I have bad flare ups. Frustrating because it’s so hard to predict. Wishing you well!!

I get these symptoms when I stretch. I thought stretching the scalenes were supposed to help but anytime I stretch that happens and I need a nap
