Anyone with Takayasu Arteritis keep on getting squeezing pain in the neck and then in the chest and back?

I keep in getting terrible squeezing pains in my neck and when this happens it then seems to go down to my chest and back. The chest and back pain feel like bad heartburn, but the neck pain is even worse.

Just wondered if this is a normal thing with TAK?
