My mother is 89 years old. She has high blood pressure, but control with medication. For the past few days she s been feeling pain on the left side neck vein. She holds the neck sometimes and tell us is relief. Please help! I want to take her to the doctor soon as possible. She never wants to go to the doctor. Please tell me what you think this is. Thank you!
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 Chat Doctor. 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 echo done under supervision of any cardiologist. For pain, you can give her eugenic and erosion forte also. She will be all right soon. God bless
