Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Burning Sensation Radiating From The Nape Through The Head?
I am a 55 year old male and I am having a problem over the last week with heat starting at the base of my neck and radiating up the left side of my head. The first few times it affected my ability to think. I am on blood pressure meds and it has my blood pressure under control. What could be happening?
It appears to be cervical spondylitis. It is not related to high BP or its medication. Medicine can give rise to an irregular heartbeat. It can be verified. The burning sensation can be irritation of the nerve. Your blood pressure is under control so the medicine is to be continued. You are having anxietyneurosis. Try to be free from anxiety. Radiation pain from the base of the neck to the side of your head is due to cervical spondylitis and radiation is not the problem like losing the ability to think. It is neurological problem. You can consult a neurologist for examination and advice for further investigation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash,
Ophthalmologist
