How Can Arthritis Of The Neck Be Treated?
I have arthritis of the neck due to being a painter for 34 years. I take Mobic and 25 mg of CBD capsules. My cholesterol is only elevated at maybe 211. Blood pressure is about 220 to 235 usually. I did just retire in Sept. When I lean over I get a head rush, pressure in head. My dr s nurse said it sounded like plaque. Doesn t just go away, it lasts a long time. What do you think? Thanks...

Hello,
The blood flush in the head you feel when lean over is due to high blood pressure (BP). You need to consult immediately with a cardiologist and run a few diagnostic tests: EKG, echocardiogram, stress test. Monitor your BP and record the results for reference.
Your actual BP of 220 is extremely high.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
