Cervical pain leads to high heart rate - #19184

Hello Mr Neeraj, Your symptoms suggest cervical spondylosis with nerve compression, which may be irritating the autonomic nervous system, leading to increased heart rate. Since when have you been experiencing high pulse rate? Do you also feel dizziness, numbness, or tingling in the arms or fingers? Morning —stiffness indicates Vata imbalance, worsened by improper sleeping posture or stress. Try Mahayograj Guggulu (1 tablet twice daily) for nerve support and Prasarini Taila (warm oil massage on the neck and shoulders) to relieve stiffness. Ashwagandha Churna (1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime) can help regulate the nervous system and heart rate. Practice gentle cervical stretches and Pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom) to improve circulation and reduce tension. Have you checked your blood pressure and ECG to rule out any cardiac involvement?

Hi Neeraj, Can you tell me if the pain gets worse with certain activities, like looking down at your phone, working at a desk, or lifting heavy objects? Also, do you experience any numbness or tingling in your arms or hands along with the stiffness? This will help me understand if there are any nerve-related issues contributing to your discomfort. Lastly, how are your stress levels, as stress can sometimes contribute to muscle tension and exacerbate symptoms?

Ah, cervical pain can really be a pesky thing, can’t it? When it gets to your shoulder, neck, and sometimes even the chest area, it ain't pleasant at all. Since you’re experiencing this discomfort along with a high pulse rate, it's very important to consider both the physical aspect and the holistic one. Let’s dig into Ayurveda for some insights. First, when we talk about cervical pain, Vata dosha imbalance comes to mind - it’s all about those movements, dryness, and can lead to stiffness and pain. Stress and sitting long hours without proper posture could also be culprits here keep in mind. To address this, start with some gentle abhyanga, which is just a fancy word for oil massage. Use warm sesame oil, as it has a Vata pacifying effect, and gently apply it on your neck and shoulder area daily, especially before bath. If possible, have someone help you so you don’t strain your neck trying to reach there. Don’t forget to work on your posture. During the day, take regular stretch breaks, maybe every hour or so, stretch your neck in different directions carefully. Making sure your work setup is ergonomic can really go a long way. Now, high pulse rate could be linked to stress or even Kapha imbalance, yes its tricky when symptoms overlap but let’s go step by step. For calming high pulse rate, a simple remedy like a mix of honey and cinnamon in warm water each morning can be helpful. Brahmi tea in the evenings can also be calming. As much as Yoga sounds like a one-size-fits-all, it does wonders here - certain asanas like Matsyasana or Bhujangasana will help, make sure to learn these from a professional if you’re new to yoga. But, side note, if chest pain is very persistent or sharp, definitely check in with a health professional to rule out anything serious immediately alright? Safety first. Lastly, eat warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest, reducing dry, cold, and raw foods for a bit. Let’s keep that Agni or digestive fire kindled. Try these remedies and see how you feel, but hey, always listen to your body, if it feels off, it’s okay to seek help from a doctor.
