Experiencing Narrowing Arteries In The Back Of The Neck And Legs
What procedure do I ask for if I want to check for narrowing arteries in the back of the neck and legs. I have no diabetes, my mother had varacus veins. My father and grandfather died of a hart attack. I can feel my plus in the back of my neck when I go to lie down to sleep. I am taking a blood pressure tablet no sure of the make. Test carried out 2 years ago evidently show up a periodic extra beat in my hart beat.

I want to assure you that there is no disease which causes narrowing of neck and back. If you are feeling any pain or tightness of that reason, you can get x ray of that reason. Also for time being you should applied diclofenec ointment. Avoid using high pillow, and take warm shower. As You are saying that you have family history of cardiac disease, avoid high fat diet. Avoid smoking. Walk for 30 minutes daily.
