    Worried about veterbral artery dissection

    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.

    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.
