### output:

Hello dear, In your post, you have mentioned regarding pinched nerve in neck. Under such circumstances, the symptoms can be attributed to entrapment of nerve fibers at the spinal region. Other causes can be:1. Para-spinal muscle spasm due to improper sleeping posture.2. Inadequate HY Chat Doctor. 3. Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.4. Peripheral neuropathy caused due to any fluctuation in blood pressure or blood sugar level. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of cervicogenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & vitamin D needs to be added in your diet. Physiotherapy & postural exercise will also be helpful. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done. Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.X-ray & MRI of whole spine can also be carried out to detect any nerve entrapment. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
