Hi im a 16 year old male with anxiety i noticed that the whole left side of my neck is bigger than the righti have found  no lumps/growths on eighter side. i have no pain in my neck and i dont find trouble moving my head side to side. Could it be that my muscles are growing differently or would it be something else?

      Yep Gillian is right get it checked by someone is best. Try to self diagnose is not a good idea, you end up worrying about loads of things if you do

    Of course go to gp if you want a diagnosis but it's osteopaths chiropractor that can realignment

    I've had this my son had it after a car crash nothing to worry about I very much doubt you have anything to worry about
