Neck Pain and anxiety?

Question

Can people get neck pain from anxiety/panic attacks? I also have mono-could it be from that? Or both?

Answer 1

Yes, neck pain can arise as a result from anxiety. Anxiety can increase the tension in the muscles that support the neck and overworking these muscles can result in pain. Stress also increases a chemical in the body known as cortisol which is know to result in increased perception of pain.

yes and yes.....your neck absorbs a great deal of stress, therefore it is common the to experiance neck pain from strss and anxiety attacks. Stress to the body and also weaken the immune system, which can in turn make you more supseptible to viruses such as mono.

Answer 3

Pain in your back and neck is usually caused by pinched or tight muscles. Once they are released the pain should be gone. I don't think that there is much that you are doing to make it any worse than it already is. Here is how to release those muscles: For your neck: place your hand alongside your head and push your thumb in under your ear and place it on the muscle there. Take your fingers and place them on the back of your neck on the muscles there. Press them together and hold a good amount of pressure on them. Then relax, take a deep breath and exhale. After 30 seconds you should be feeling the muscle going limp under the pressure. Continue to hold until the entire muscle has gone limp, then lean your head forward as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your head there for another 30 seconds. Back: Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
