Hello

After going through the medical query raised by you I can very well understand your concern for your mothers health and I would like to tell you that taking into consideration her age group along with history of hypertension and symptoms of giddiness it’s important to evaluate her from the cardiac point of you also.

Not just x-ray spine but it’s also important to get an ECG and echocardiogram done.

I am not able to see any reports attached with your query probably due to some technical error it got failed to upload.

I suggest you to kindly try re-uploading the reports for evaluation.

Kind Regards

Doctor, any problem with neck. Attaching neck x-ray. Kindly advise the medicines in case of any problems.

We are of the view that now everything is normal, we may be giving the high dosage for hypertension, as she was only on 2.5mg stamlo. Please advise.

Brief Answer:
Hello again

Detailed Answer:
I guess by mistake you have uploaded the same image twice which is of an ECG.

There is no X-ray image attached. Moreover, your general physician has advised right as her systolic blood pressure is high for which she needs some other medication. Just follow the medication advised by your physician.

Kind Regards
