Hello, Thanks for your query. The bulging discs compress spinal nerves or spinal cord. Symptoms are experienced along the area of distribution/path of that particular nerve. Treatment includes 1. Use of cervical collar helps in immobilization and brings relief. 2. Medical Chat Doctor. 3. Methylcobalamin supplements are also recommended for nerve compression symptoms.4. Cervical isometric exercises are beneficial to maintain the strength of the neck muscles. Neck and upper back stretching exercises, as well as light aerobic activities, also are recommended under the guidance of a physical therapist. 5. Hot fomentation helps in relieving acute symptoms.6. You can avoid using a pillow/ watching TV or working on computer. Avoid prolonged sitting / leaning forward/ 2 wheeler
