How does corotid massage work?

Carotid massage involves applying gentle pressure to the carotid artery in the neck, which can stimulate the vagus nerve. This stimulation can lead to a decrease in heart rate and can help restore normal rhythm in cases of certain types of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The pressure can also increase blood flow to the brain, potentially alleviating symptoms like dizziness. However, it should be performed cautiously and typically under medical supervision.
