Cervical Neck pain and Hypochondrium Pain - #31592

HELLO V S NIKHIL BHARADWAJ,

It sounds like you’re dealing with persistent discomfort in the left hypochondriac, radiating to the upper chest and arm, along with nerve like symptoms sun as tingling. you’ve already done a thorough investigation with various specialist, including cardiology and neurology, with no serious findings - which is encouraging in one sense but understandably frustrating for ongoing symptoms, cerical c3-c6 bulges pressing left side, headache

In Ayurvedic terms, your condition suggests a multi-doshic imbalance, especially- VATA VYADHI(nervous system disorder) -vyana vata governs circulation and nerve impulses, its disturbance causes radiating pain, tingling, erratic sensations, cervical pain -Apana vata affects the abdominal and lower trunk; involvement may explain discomfort in the hypochondriac.

PITTA AGGRAVATION -burning in the chest, especially localised over the heart/chest, and stress-induced episodes, point to pitta imbalance -emotional stress is a major factor in pitta and vata aggravation

AMA(TOXIN) ACCUMULATION -possibly due to poor digestion, emotional blockages, and metabolic errors, leading to blocked channels -slightly raised Homocysteine and lipids are reflective of AMA+KAPHA involvement

TREATMENT GOAL -Pacify aggravated vata- to relieve nerve tingling , radiating pain, and stress response -Reduce excess pitta- to calm burning sensation, emotional heat and irritation -Eliminate toxins- to clear metabolic waste linked to homocysteine / lipids -Nourish dhatu(tissues)- especially Majja dhatu(nervous tissue) and rasa/rakta dhatu(blood, circulation) -Balance Agni(digestion/metabolism)- to optimise nutrient absorption and detoxification. -reduce cervical pain-vata shamana

Addressing your concerns through Ayurveda involves a holistic assessment of your dosha imbalances and lifestyle. Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, commonly linked with stress, anxiety, and dietary habits. Let’s break down the recommendations for your symptoms:

For the cervical spine issues, practice gentle neck exercises like Greeva Sanchalana (neck rotations) to improve flexibility. Applying warm oil massages with Mahanarayana or Bala oils can nurture Vata disturbance. Use a warm compress for your neck daily, particularly before sleep, to alleviate stiffness and pain.

The head and forehead symptoms align with Vata and Pitta imbalance. Adequate sleep and stress reduction practices like Shirodhara or meditation can be helpful. Drinking Brahmi tea in the evening may soothe your nervous system.

Chest and arm sensations are further influenced by anxiety. Regular practice of Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom and Ujjayi breathings, can enhance lung capacity and reduce anxiety. Aromatherapy with lavender or sandalwood oils may also calm the mind.

For liver health and hypochondrium pain, incorporating dietary changes to reduce fatty liver is crucial. Avoid heavy, fried foods, alcohol, and processed sugars. Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet rich in leafy greens, bitter gourd, turmeric and dals. Consume warm water with lemon and honey each morning to aid digestion and liver function.

Address the breathing discomfort with steam inhalation infused with eucalyptus oil. This helps in allergic airway disease. Continue your medications as advised by your pulmonologist. The cleansing practice of Jalaneti can be incorporated daily for clearing nasal passages.

Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal formulations that might complement your situation, ensuring no conflict with your current medications. Additionally, a regular routine with consistent meal timings, adequate water intake, and stress reduction through yoga can harmonize your system over time.

Given this range of symptoms, we’ll need to look at your dosha imbalances. The cervical neck pain, for instance, could be connected to aggravated Vata, which often manifests as stiffness and discomfort in the areas of the body like the spine. The anxiety and stress experience may also increase Vata levels. Let’s address your symptoms systematically while being mindful of your current medication.

Firstly, for the cervical spine issues, gentle application of warm medicated oils such as Mahanarayan or Kottamchukkadi tailam could help ease the stiffness. Warm the oil lightly and apply gently to the neck and shoulders once or twice daily. Following the application, consider mild heat therapy using a hot water bag, but avoid it being too hot to risk aggravating Pitta.

The headache and heavy head might be linked to your anxiety and Vata-Pitta imbalance. Nasya, or medicated oil drops like Anu tailam in each nostril once a day, can reduce such heaviness and headaches over time. Make sure to perform it under the guidance of someone familiar with the technique.

For the abdominal discomfort and fatty liver, a diet supporting liver health is crucial. Try to include bitter greens like dandelion or neem, which can support liver function, and reduce high-fat, processed foods. Triphala, taken at night in warm water, can improve digestion and support healthy liver functions. Start with a small quantity, adjusting based on your bowel tolerance.

Breathing discomfort associated with allergic airway disease can often benefit from gentle Pranayama practices. Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) may help stabilize breath patterns and calm the mind. Begin with five minutes a day, gradually increasing as your comfort grows.

Despite these holistic measures, please remain vigilant with your cardiovascular and neurology appointments; surgical consultation might be deemed necessary if there’s worsening in symptoms related to nerve compression. The balance of maintaining regular clinical reviews along with supportive Ayurvedic practices can yield comprehensive and balanced results. Always communicate openly with your doctors regarding new interventions to prevent contraindications with your current treatment routine.
