Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
been seeing chiropractor for neck/shoulder pain on left side for couple weeks. Mostly neck & pain is behind ear, lymphnodes tender & blood pressure is elevated to 132/103. Yesterday it was 147/97. Pulse was in 90's. this morning it 78. No headaches. Just pain behind left ear mainly.Hurts especially if I turn my head left. Almost like an ear/tooth ache feeling. Any idea what is causing or what to do?
I. Your case you said lympnodes are tender which is an indication that you are suffering from infection of the area draining those lyphnodes otherwise tenderness of lymphnodes almost dont occur due to blood pressure so you get yourself examined by an ENT doctor so that he may rule out the possibility of infection and one more thing when there is any pain in body the chances of increased blood pressure and heart rate are also increased.
