Asking for Father, Male, 54 years old, Rawalpindi
My father is a diabetic and heart patient and is using medicines for a low ejection fraction that is at 25%. He also got the second dose three days back. Now, he is feeling neck stiffness for four days now (No other symptom, no fever of fatigue). He took nuberol forte for two days but didn't work. I need to know if it is a post-vaccine symptom? Or a symptom of any other disorder. He had two silent heart attacks, so I need to make sure everything is fine. Pls let me know if any tests or medicine.
Just need physiotherapy and symptomatic treatment hopefully. If meet some Orthopedic surgeon. It is better to seek expert opinion
Get vitamin D levels reported and also a x ray of the cervical spine and consult an orthopedic near you . Mean while start using tab myolax 4 mg twice daily for muscle relaxation. Use pillow of appropriate size not too thick. Minimal smart phone usage for couple of weeks.
It is more likely to be post vaccination effect. If stiffness in neck would not settle at its own in one week then get the cervical spine X-rays done.
Thanks
May be a transient post covid . If persists please consult cardiologist and spec in physiotherapy
Consult cardiologist and get expert opinion. Give him symptomatic treatment.
