hi,
thank you for providing a brief history of you.
since you are concerned with the medicine , I really do not think it should be the case.
but still if you feel you can stop for a week and check it out. since you are taking that medicine for the
diabetes you should consult your
diabetologist for the same
I can only help you by guiding onto how to get rid of the symptoms you are facing.
as you said you feel tightness in neck muscles, u have undergone cervical level surgery also, and have trouble swallowing as well.
The reason for tightness of your neck muscles is the protective mechanism of the body to safe guard the spine. you should try doing neck muscle Strengthening exercises and take
physical therapy services for neck muscle tightness. as once the strength comes the tightness will slow down.
This is my way of dealing with my parents in diabetes. and they get helped upto 80-90%.
you mentioned your age as 72. so as I see
geriatrics alot I can understand that your
metabolism is slow and it needs a booster.
If you try performing regular exercises may be your sugar.level will drop and the diabetologist will reduce the dosage.
this has happened many a times with my patients. almost I can say 95% of my patients.
Exercise is a natural way of boosting the metabolism and control the high sugar level.
balancing the sugar levels in the blood stream is possible naturally by putting an extra effort into exercise.
You can discuss the same with your diabetologist.
