HI there could be many reasons for a sharp pain in your neck such as sleeping badly. What are you frightened it could be? It sounds like you have health anxiety and I hope you are getting treatment for it. x

Hi! I used to have panic attacks more often during my high school days. Now, when I feel them coming and I notice my breathing pattern begins to change, I literally talk to myself and say "ok, be calm" and I forcefully control my breathing. The breathing really helps. After you calm down at least a little, it's easier to decide how to treat with your particular issue.

I do occasionally get sharp pains in my neck and I notice it happens in high-stress situations. What I try to do is remove myself from that situation, again, calm myself down, promise myself that I will deal with it rationally and then get back to it. Sometimes this isn't as simple as it sounds but I have found that I think better and get myself out of an issue better when my mind is a little more at ease. Also, being able to solve problems kinda helps build a little more confidence- Something I use as motivation.

Finally, it's obvious that it's not healthy to have these neck pains so I hope you can reduce the frequency with controlling how you deal with your problems and perhaps a change in diet as well.

Wishing you the best!
