What Does Pain In The Neck Indicate?
My sister-in-law is seventy-six years old. She has been having pain in in her neck which she describes as a choking feeling. She has diabetes, and has been fighting high blood pressure for some time. She is trying to get an appointment with her cardiologist. This has been going on for several days. Do you think she should needs to go to an ER?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, it would be best for her to be seen and assessed. It may not be due to a serious cause but with a history of risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure, they would need to be ruled out by examination and testing.
I hope this helps
