Tighting/pressure/numbness in neck
by Audrea, Jan 18, 2006 12:00AM
Everytime I exercise I get a tight/pressure from the top of my shulders to my ears running up both sides of my neck. I have been to my Family Dr. He took some blood (throid, cbc,bmp) all came back ok. I also took a basic stress test and it was ok as well. I also have a feeling of a lump in my throat and numbness in my jaw at times. The tighting is there now even w/o exertion but gets much worse when I exercise. Got any ideas what this could be? Thanks!

do you get dyspenea(shortness of breath). or pain anywhere else, if they are sure its not a heart problem, possible to be circulation problem. if not numbness, but to me especially that it is now with out exertion, if sure not heart or circulation reated. Trigeminal neuralgia. (sometimes secondary to blood vessel problem) , could be a spinal disc problem, or a pulled nerve, since you say it is now even when not exercising. do you have asthma, or any breathing problems, could be a loss of oxygen, causing numbness, like when you cut off circulation to your arm, by leaning on it. i sometimes get numbness in the pinky and jaw when exercising, been to the family doctor, still no known reason. hope you find the cause, and hopelfly treatment, though this might be one of thoes things that "no one knows what to do".
