Worried about veterbral artery dissection

[megsi99]

Ugh..I've had a sharp pain in my neck the last few days and I'm becoming anxious it's vertebral artery dissection. It's on the back left side, just below my suboccipitals. I also have had a headache the last few days (right temple).

I'm traveling to Chicago tomorrow for work and I want to do is go to my GP and get checked out. Has anyone struggled with worry before, and if so, how did you handle it? Thanks.

Have you been googling to find this?

I heard about it someway awhile ago and then yes, I did Google to find out more.

I don't even know what the suboccipitals are!

Anyway - I have had neck pain for at least the last 9 months and had physio for it.

You probably pulled a muscle or something.
