What causes nape pain?
Patient: Hi, I just want to ask why is my left side of the nape hurting? the cartilage part of my nape is the one in pain. I checked my BP last night, and it was 140/90. my normal bp is just 120/80. I'm 32 yrs old. is this just ok? Hope you can help. Thanks. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  Your blood pressure is high.  You should take salt restricted diet and measure your blood pressure again.  If it comes high for 2 to 3 times then antihypertensive medicine like losartan or atenolol should be taken. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
