Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a bulging intervertebral disk in the neck.

For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam, performing a cervical spine X-ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation, blood electrolytes, vitamin D and vitamin B12 plasma levels for possible deficiency).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
