Anybody else ever get weird pains in their neck?

Different places- hurts for a few seconds or a minute or two, almostblike a little "shock", but not excruciating pain at all- just random little "bites" almost.

Always makes me reach up there and touch where it is, and of course anxiety says "you're dying, that's a clogged artery or something ready to burst"

I've named my health anxiety- but his name is inappropriate and I probably can't post it here 😂😂

    Yes, many women experience "shock like" symptoms in the head and neck area. When I started having them, I thought my glasses were too tight. 😂😂😂😂 The health anxiety kicked in and I was sure it was a dread disease. All of a sudden they just stopped on their own.

      Yes, I get those.  I have type 2 diabetes and they were mimicking a sensation that I have through that.  But my diabetes is well controlled so I should not have been getting them.  Now I realise it was the menopause

      I am such a ridiculous mess all the time.  What happened to me?  Will I ever be normal again?  Geez.  Laughter has got to be the best medicine during this time.

    Yes, for the past 2 or 3 years.  I asked my doctor about it and he said likely something was a bit pinched.   I started seeing a new chiropractor and had him take a look at my neck.  He adjusted it a couple of months ago and I haven't had it since.  Could be coincidence, could be that the pain was due to things being out of joint.
