What To Do If Having Neckpain Due To Cervical Issues?
Hi Doctor, This is Nemichand jain ,age-62,height-5 10,weight-85 I have cervical problem because of that i have neck pain and My BP also high its 150-104 my physician suggested to consult with any neurologist . could you please suggest what should i do in this problem.
I will suggest you to monitor your blood pressure regularly. if it is persistently high even in absence of pain, I will suggest you to start anti hypertensive medication (pain sometimes increases blood pressure). Regarding your cervical spine problem, takes simple analgesics for it like parcetamol and orphanedrine, and start work up for cause of this pain. Go for an X-ray cervical spine, calcium, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase levels and vitamin D levels to look into the cause of this pain. Moreover, take pillow of thickness equal to your shoulder width on one side from ear to tip of shoulder. Limit extreme mobility of neck and head by using cervical collar for at least 3 weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Faisal Bacha, Internal Medicine Specialist
