neck pressure behind ears?

[Joesafee]

Hey, since two weeks ago I havent felt like me. It all started when I rushed to a&e due to chest pain. They checked my heart etc and everything came back fine. Since then ive been so stressed and my neck is so stiff and it hurts at the back of my ears anyone else get this?

It could be anxiety related pain. Sometimes anxiety can take on all sorts of physical ailments that are extremely uncomfortable. I know it's easier said than done, but try relaxation, possibly with relaxing meditation music sounds such as rainfall or quiet storms. Be sure to give your doctor a call first thing. Hope you feel better soon.

I know what you mean about getting a stiff neck from stress. I sometimes end up not being able to move my neck to one side or the other.

I use a warm wheat bag on my neck to ease the stiffens and I use lavender essential oil to help me to relax as well.

I also treat myself to a good neck and shoulders massage to help ease the muscles so that the tension doesn't keep building up.

Hope some of the things I do help you.

Take care

Hi Joesafee, I have neck pain, which feels stiff. I also have (now) a blocked ear. I am seeing my gp next week to see if I have Bppv ... which I have only just associated as may be the cause. I hate looking up and heights or moving fast. I keep trying to move my neck and it crackles!

I just had a test called VNG which tests your vestibular system.  It showed my right side is almost non-functional & left isn't strong enough to compensate.... Or th a try if you aren't finding answers.

Constantly. All tests normal except bulging disk at C-4/5 & C-6-7.

Usually due to stress caused by tensing up without even realizing it... I'm not a Dr. .. But I get the same thing at times... I do have cervical disc desease in my neck and that adds to that also, so get checked!! Good Luck and try to relax... I know, easier said than done!
