Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and am glad to note that your investigations for heart/lung disease are within normal limits.
Pinched nerve in the neck is a possibility and it can be diagnosed with the help of an MRI of cervical spine.
It would respond to medications such as pregabalin capsules.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,

It heals on own in most cases.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
Yes, it heals on own in most people (about 70-80% of cases).
Pregabalin is a prescription medicine and you can ask your regular physician to prescribe it.
You can also discuss about getting an MRI scan done if the symptoms are still troublesome.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
