I have this pressure on the sides of my neck, and it happens often, but goes and come. It is not muscle pain, but it occurs at the same time that I feel this bubble in my chest followed by a sharp pain, sometimes I even feel like my stomach is moving, it is awful... on the right side of neck in particular, I feel like a very sudden pulse, movement, but it seems to be all connected, neck and chest (or stomach?) pain... My doctor wanted to send me for a MRI, and the insurance company denied it based on not having any treatment prior, but I just started having this problem around the middle of october... it seems to be getting worse and more often... then my doctor wanted to send me to an ENT, I don t see the connection, I have been diagnosed with acid reflux, and he gave me medication for that, but it is not helping these other symptoms... It really started to worry me...
Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of acid reflux. Another possible cause to consider would be chronic degeneration of the cervical spine. For this reason, I recommend performing a cervical vertebral column X-ray study and a chest X-ray study. A cervical spine MRI study may be needed. The sharp pain in the chest is typical of a musculoskeletal pain. So, try to relax and don't worry about it! Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
