She didn't disagree that could play a part. The Dr felt my neck and thyroid and listened to my carotid artery and said nothing was abnormal. I would have gotten more piece of mind but she said the neck has many layers and she can only feel so much. She put me on an ibuprofen regiment for the next few days and said if it's not feeling better to call my pcp.
This has been ruining my life to the point where my fiance decided to call my parents to check in on me since she is away for work this week. Really at my wit's end at the moment.
