Aching/twitching tension in the neck!!

Mental health
1

Hi, for the last few days my neck and shoulders have been really tense and aching. It almost like my neck is twitching and I can't help it. I have health anxiety and I'm worried it's a nervous twitch or something. Probably something else caused by the dreaded anxiety!!!

Dear Amy,

Sometimes due to lack of sleep even, there is twitching in the muscles, also if you avoid foods like banana, you might be getting your dose of potassium, which can cause unnecessary twitching.

It's mostly due to Lack of of improper sleep..

Take it easy hun, all you need to do is a little bit of relaxation. Every day for 5 minutes ok darling....

You will be fine.

We are here with you

I understand what you are going through... health anxiety is the worse.. in turn the little twinge and pain into something so serious and then my anxiety increases ten fold... I'm here if you need to talk..

Thank you both. It's like my neck won't relax and I'm thinking about it twitching and making it worse. I feel like it's just one thing after another!

Hello Amy, I too suffer from anxiety and tension! Have you tried reflexology or aromatherapy? Also a treatment in a jacuzzi! Just be kind to yourself! Regards Amanda

I used to see a chiropractor which really helped, think I need to go back. Just so much tension in my neck it won't relax!!!

I get severe neck spasms, as well as hand temmors, muscle aching and twitching as well so know how you are feeling hun and I really do hope you are manage to get this sorted, I am still having to go to the drs to get mine under control as the worse it gets for me, the more anxious I get and the more anxious I get, the worse it gets if that makes sense

It feels like my neck is kind of shaking the more I am thinking about it the more it happens. My neck is aching so badly it won't go. What has caused yours? How can I make it stop?
