Ok, I'm almost positive that anxiety is playing a huge part in this current worry, but:
Due to some trouble with my back, I have been having medical massages. Last week one of the masseurs hit a spot on my left upper back and the pain radiated all the way up to a specific point in the left side of the back of my head, kinda where the neck meets the head.
And since then I have been feeling pain/pressure at that point. The reason why I'm kinda freaked about is that around 4 years ago I turned my head very fast and heard a cracking sound. My head/neck then hurt ofr several weeks, as I was abroad I never got it checked out. I have that pain on and off since then ant it feels a bit like my head is too heavy to carry and the sport is a bit tender to the touch.
As I never got it checked out, I have always been a bit worried that there's
something major wrong and now with my anxiety at its peek, I'm once again freaked out that it's something serious.
Does this warrant consulting the doctor or is it just the anxiety talking out of me?

Ok, I'm going to try to challenge myself here:
- this has been an ongoing issue for 4 years and it hasn't resulted in anything bad happening so far, so why should it now?
- I have started practising sleeping on my back and I spent the night at my parents place with a pillow that wasn't very soft and I have been doing neck stretches and exercises where my head was on the ground, which might have started this pain
- also I had to get up at 4 a.m. today and although I did get enough sleep it is bound to make one more anxious, especially when combined with the fact that I spent half the day without much food
Ok, I'm gonna use my heatinh pillow and see if that helps and see whether the thing gets worse before eventually consulting my doctor if need be /and will also mention my anxiety to her/
