Hello,
The neck discomfort after initiation of Metosartan indicates possible side effect with angiotensin receptor blocker action. The alteration in potassium level is the usual cause for the side effect in this manner with muscle pain and spasm. You must discuss the same with his treating physician for the same and manage further doses of the medicine accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
