Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam. A cervical spine MRI may be needed in order to exclude a possible bulging disc in the cervical vertebral column. Another possible cause would be torticollis, which is a local muscle spasm of the neck muscles.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
