Question : I have just discovered I have 3 bulging discs in my neck by an mri and have a symptom of a rush in my body and then I get warm in neck area. Could this be a symptom of the bulging discs

Brief Answer:
Very unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
The symptom you have described - rush in the body and then feeling warm in neck area is generally not due to bulging discs in the cervical spine unless the bulge occupies a very significant area of spinal canal. Normal symptoms would be pain , neck stiffness or pain radiating to arms in cervical disc prolapse.
I hope to have answered your question. Please feel free to ask any other question.

I do have neck pain with shoulder and arm pain Just wondering if the rush with hot feeling and nausea. MRI showed the 3 bulging discs I have had total heart block in past but not for 3 years. Just wanted to see if you thought this could be that again or if it is what they have told me is cervical bulging disc symptoms and should go with that or have heart check up

Brief Answer:
Please see below

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Nausea and hot feelings are usually not due to disc disease . Sometimes nausea and vomiting can occur in case blood supply to brain is lessened due to pressure on the vertebral arteries called Vertebro- Basilar insufficiency. Better to have heart check up so that you are able to rule out any heart disease recurrence,
