Suggest Treatment For Breathing Difficulty And Faint Heartbeat
HI, 20 years ago I had an accident that damaged my neck. Now that I am 37 I am having a lot more difficulty with it. Today I felt a disk slip inward towards the dorsal part of my throat. I feel espcially worried because I am having trouble with breathing and have a really faint heart beat of 60 beats per minute. I have an appt with my chiropractor tomorrow but what can I do between now and then?

Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms can be related to a slipped cervical disk.
For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing a cervical spine CT scan.
Respiratory function tests and an ENT consult are also necessary to exclude possible airways damage.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
