What Is The Treatment For Neck Pain And Dizziness?

I know I am under stress but been having elephant chest, buring neck pain on left side and shoulder/arm pain had a head ache followed by dizziness and nausea. I am a biomed at a dialysis clinic so I checked my bp on a machine and it was 155/101 pulse rate 132. I had just gotten to work. Had symptoms like this before stress test neg. Blood tests could not rule out an event. The 3 day hospital stay seemed like a waste of time.

Hi Welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Accelerated hypertension and Irregular heartbeat which are known to alter the blood supply to the brain leading to impaired function in a transient way.Few drugs like beta blockers are certainly known to reduce the heart rate.I advise you to have a complete 24 hour holter ECG which can accurately determine the cardiac conduction abnormalities. Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate.Drugs like amiodarone can also help to minimise the rhythm irregularities.A 2 Dimensional echocardiography will help to assess the functional reserve of the heart ruling out organic heart lesions.Electrophysiological study and Radiofrequency ablation will be helpful once any abnormality detected.Meditation and yoga will be helpful.
Consult your cardiologist for expert management
