Pedro61885, it's a matter of getting the muscles to relax. Know that it is not dangerous. Put a warm towel or blanket around your shoulders and back of your neck. Sit in a comfortable chair and sip on some hot drink while you deep breathe and relax. Watching tv, reading a book can help take your mind off the issue. You are okay, you are safe. It will soon pass. Breathe.....
