It is neurological problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your symptoms. These are related to neurological problem, and not due to heart disease.

You need a detailed neurological examination, which may be followed by MRI of spine (if needed). You would get better with medications and physiotherapy. So, there is no need to worry.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,

Dear sir,
Thanks for the answer.three years ago I did the MRI of spine and then report tells as "mildly reduced c5c6 disc space and s/o muscle spasm".
Also I had history of migraine, for the same I have taken vasograin tablets.
Some two weeks ago I did the 25oh vitamin D total &it found to be 21.29 and vitamins b12 level is 448

Please suggest medicine and physiotherapy so that I can take here in Shirur which is taluka place near XXXXXXX

Also this pain at left side is not continuous, but started suddenly and gets relief when taken some analgesic medicines.

Regards
