Well I discovered this site maybe a year or so ago and from time to time look in because I suffer from anxiety, mainly about my health. Started to suffer from anxiety probably about three years ago but didn't realise that this was the problem. I have found the forum reassuring and has helped me in coping with panic attacks.
The reason for posting is that for the last year I have been having what I call strange issues with my neck. I not only suffer from aches and pains but also my head tends to pull to one side to an abnormal position. My doctor sent me to see a physio for treatment and although he felt I had some posture issues, he concluded that there wasn't really too much of a problem with the muscles groups etc. The 'pulling' is worse when I drive (unfortunately everyday) and also tends to do the same but to a lesser degree when walking for instance. It does settle down a great deal when I am at home and relaxed but is still there in the background. I also have another symptom which has developed in tandem with this where I also seem to have a very slight numb feeling around my cheek bone and eye socket area. This has now become quite concerning and discouraging for me as everyday that I wake up and feel like its gone, its soon there again. Has anyone here had something similar at all. I really need some answers, and not sure about my Doctor as I think he feels I'm a bit of a hypochondriac as I have visited him on past occasions with anxiety symptoms.
