Suggest Treatment For Small Vessel Disease Of The Heart
I have had my neck x-rayed because of discomfort more so on the lefthand side and when I sleep and here is the report: The lordosis is flattened, and there is a slight kyphotic curve of the lower cervical spine. There is chronic disc space narrowing and spondylosis at C5/6 and C6/7 levels. There is also moderate narrowing of C4/5 disc space. At C3/4 there is chronic paravertebral degeneration. The dens appears intact. Moderate spondylosis of the mid and lower certical spine. How should this be treated? I am 62 years old 158cm tall and weigh about 75 k's. I have a heart condition that is being treated - I sometimes get angina-type attacks and have had coronary artery spasms. I have been told that I have small vessel disease of the heart. I also have a hiatus hernia that recurred after 10 years after initial surgery. I have been advised not to have another operation and am on medication. Thank you for your help.
