Hi welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Swollen neck can be directly related to elevated blood pressure and right sided heart failure.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.Drugs like antihypertensives ex Metolar XL 100 mg once r twice a day will help.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.Surgery on the back has to be postponed until the BP is brought under control.One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management.Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
