What Causes A Wry Neck With Hot Flushes?

I have been experiencing a stiff neck (on one side only) that isn t eased very much by a chiropractor, could it be related to recently switching from Micardis 40mg to Micardis Plus 40/12.5 mg. My normal blood pressure while taking Micardis was 120/70. I had no stiff neck prior to this change. I m also experiencing severe hot flushes (since switching to Micardis Plus), but most severe on my face on the side of the stiff neck. They can last for more than an hour. I have Diabetes 2,(controlled with one Diabex XR tablet a day, and diet and exercise. My most recent (May 2014) HbA1c was 6.1, but my morning blood glucose level readings have started to steadily climb from my usual 5.5 to 7+, but return to 5.5 two hours after breakfast.

Possibly it is not due to drug.It could be spontaneous.I may suggest hot fomentation and application of muscle relaxant gel to the affected side and tylenol tabs.it should settle soonDont do exercise or any chiropractic procedure, instead just rest till spasm gets over.See an orthopedic surgeon if necessary to obtain muscle relaxant oral drug prescription if spasm continues longer
