[|Human|] My father aged 74 says he gets a very mild mild pain on his right chest only during morning walk and that too during the first round of his walk later after few minutes of rest it is subside and also a mild pain on his right hand?  Is this connected to cordiology or spondilities. please reply
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your fathers situation and problem. Possibility of cervical spine related problem (spondylitis) is more. But in old age (age more than 60 years), we should always rule out cardiac cause first for chest pain. So better to first get done ECG, 2d echo. If both are normal than no need to worry about cardiac diseases. Then get done x-ray of cervical spine and if needed MRI for the diagnosis of spondylitis. He may need cervical belt and physiotherapy. Calcium and vitamin d3 supplements are also useful. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
