Seriously, pain in my neck. Like right to the left of my jugular at least I think it's the muscle next to it not the actual vein. Does anybody else get a pain right down the left side of their neck? It's kind of stressing me out because it is hard to ignore and I also had a little bit of panic yesterday when I exerted myself yesterday and I started getting this tingly feeling in my arms which let to me feeling my heartbeat which I then convinced myself it didn't feel normal when it probably was.

Also, another thing I have noticed. I never have pain in two different places at the same time; is it like that for anyone else?

I have been told, I'm not a doctor, that it's impossible to feel pain in more than one place at a time. I
don't think I ever have but I'm not certain. Thats not what you need reassurance about this is anxiety or
panic, not physical, not an illness, anxiety will make you feel stuff that is unimaginable, please don't
allow yourself to get on that anxiety train called what if's or maybes because it's self defeating.
Always revert back to therapy techniques and shut down the Panic. Peace

Would you say that anxiety is a 'Pain In The Neck'? ;p

Yes, I would!

Seriously though...little aches and pains come and go...the difference with us?

We focus on them, and try to attach too many scary possibilities to them for our own good.

Ignore, distract and use your coping mechanisms as Larry mentioned. I am sure that it will soon go away.

Feel better!

Well it had went away for a couple hours and then came back, and this time I noticed it coming back. It felt like the left side of my neck was just tightening up. What a weird feeling that was. It was almost like I slowly flexed the muscles there and kept it like that but with a little bit of pain involved.

I hate this anxiety. Everytime I start to forget about it it finds a way to say "Hey, I'm still here." T_T

I do, I currently have neck pains + back pains almost all day, its pain full !! But I try to ignore it as its is anxiety and stress or your neck may be tense !!

Don't worry about it though!!

I've had pains in the sides of my neck off and on over the past 8 years or so, I even went to my Doc about it, and everything looked fine on paper, nothing was wrong. I realized later on that it had something to do with my pillow and when I would get stressed (which I didn't realize I was so stressed) it had something to do with muscles and things I would do during sleep believe it or not.

Hope this helps.
