I have a strange NECK SPASM...?

Question

It may be a vein or muscle, im not sure... but i think its too big to be a vein, but it randomly pulsates. It is "spazzing out" to be more specific.

Any idea how to lose it... massage? change diet? stretch before gym?

Have you had this before?

Answer 1

That's a muscle you feel pulsating. You would get instant relief from a professional massage therapist. See if you can get an appointment as soon as possible. Yes, you should always stretch before doing exercises. A change of diet will not really influence a muscle spasm. Just try to always eat healthy and avoid fried foods, fatty foods, and junk food.

Answer 2

yes, neck spasms may occur from an injury, overuse, poor posture, or stress. For example, it is common for a person doing a lot of computer work to feel his or her neck stiffen. Spasms may even occur from an uncomfortable night's sleep.

Stretching: Spasms are best treated with stretching exercises.
Massage: You may be able to massage your neck yourself by finding the tight muscles and putting deep pressure on these muscles. You might also get a massage from a friend or therapist.
Medicine: Your health care provider may recommend an anti-inflammatory medicine, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, or may prescribe a muscle relaxant.
Ice: If your neck spasm has just occurred, put ice packs on your neck for 20 to 30 minutes three to four times a day.
Moist heat: Sometimes, especially with recurrent spasms, moist heat can help. Put warm, moist towels on your neck for 20 minutes, or take hot showers or baths.
Physical therapy: Your health care provider may recommend seeing a physical therapist for an exercise program and other treatments.
Injection: If the above treatments do not help the spasm get better, your health care provider may recommend a shot of an anesthetic or a medicine like cortisone into the muscle.
Stress management: Neck spasms are a common physical symptom caused by stress or depression. Identification of these problems and treatment of them may help considerably with neck spasms.
