Diabetologist,  's  Response
Thank-you user for your query.
I understand your concern.
In your case one cause of neck pain towards left side may be due to hypertension.But as per your history its clear that it's controlled with drugs.
Start giving her calcium as her age is such that osteoporosis happens more likely.Kindly ask if she is having pain radiation in her left arm also or is it localized to neck area only. This may be cervical spondylitis also and for this you may get an X-ray done but kindly get this condition ruled out by any orthopaedician. Get an Ecg and 2D echi done under supervision of any cardiologist.
For pain you can give her ibugesic and neurobion forte also.
She will be all right soon.
god bless
