Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure In Patients With Pinched Nerve

I have been dealing with a pinched nerve for about 3 months. The pain has never gone away. I have had cortisone shot,PT and predizon by mouth. Nothing has helped. Last night and tonight my heart rate has escalated to a high of 112. My blood pressure seems ok. Is there anything I can do to bring the pulse rate down? Email YYYY@YYYY

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Persistent pain can lead to increase heart rate.
Usually nerve compression cant be seen on x ray you may need MRI for this.
there will be age related spondylitis but if there is any nerve compression then that may need specific treatment.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

Gabapentin can help.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
