I feel the same way. Like the sides of my neck are going to explode. Sorry to say, I haven't found anything to help except deep breathing, that is when I can catch my breathe again. Just wanted to let you know, you are not alone.

does it feel like a pressure to the point you think it choking you or your going to pass out

also do you feel like theas a whole lot of water or flem just sitting there

I just feel like the sides of my neck and the back are tight.

I think i may get this.. I feel like my neck is swelling and that someone is choking me.. ?!?!

Massage therapy helps me!

my neck doesnt feel like its going to explode, but I get this constant vibrating sensation all the time. Mine is most likely from Fibromyalgia.

i had alot of side effects just like the one your having and its like all the muscles in my face and neck were really really tense it went away though just give it time

That is EXACTLY how I have been feeling for 2 weeks and it totally freaks me out. The pressure extends into my ears. I have also been dizzy and feeling unwell overall. Normal blood work, no sinus infection, nothing wrong with my neck (CT at ER). MRI of my head is next. Have you found out anything on your end?

had it, had it and had it. muscle tension, sometimes feel like I cant hold my head up.

i feel like the muscles in my neck are sore, like a sore throat someimtes. can anyone relate?

its 3:40am im online and i got the same thing going on,,being online gets mine real bad ..it never goes away..time for a massage a paid one..this will help wile your there at least..i hear alot of people these days with this problem..due to the worlds stress..good luck friend

Yes i can relate, my shoulders, my shoulder blades, even down my arms sometimes and across my chest. A good massage really help, a long soak. Another thing that helps me is listening to my body and having rest when i need too. also lots of gentle yoga and breathing.

One last thing, a good rest and a good eat. Sometimes over the weekend we will cook a good couple of super food meals - lots of protein, beans or lentils, berry's etc. Generally looking after yourself in this way can give a good sense of well being.

Hi, this is for shecan. I was able to relate to you I guess because we are close in age. For the past month in a half, i have had on and off tightness on my neck and under my jaws. there are no lumps i don't have a problem swollowin, I can breath just fine. No sore throat or any other symptom. I might add that I have been under extreme stress lately due to problems I am having with my son. I have always had anxiety problems. panic attacks about 10years ago due to mothers death and my marriage falling apart. I was just wondering can this feeling be due to stress. I even wake up in the morning with it. I am feeling very overwhelmed right now. This problem has only added to my anxiety. Please help if you can. Thank you

Yup, and also around my head too. Also, I feel pressure in my ears. The 'tight band' feeling. Sometimes you can be tense without realizing it. You have to consciously work on relaxing your muscles and over time it'll come natural, so the tension will be relieved.


Kind regards,
Eric
