    Worried about possible heart problem. Paranoid I will have to go to hospital.

    This particular situation started on Wednesday. I just started noticing that my back and neck had a certain tightness and ache to it. It feels like something like a muscle strain or pinched nerve. When I turn my head side ways or tilt my head forward or backward with my neck, I feel the part where my back/neck met really tighten up and hurt. I have also felt the same kind of feeling in my shoulder or chest too. But it feels like a muscle strain each time. When I lay down and get up, my back and chest hurts simultaneously. I can feel like the chest muscle hurting when getting up. It doesn't seem to bother me when sitting up for a while.

    This has been going on since Wednesday. It seems to be worse in the morning when getting up. Feels really achy and stiff getting up. I am NOT having any trouble breathing or anything. Heck, I have been going to work and working a job that is considered fast paced. I don't recall having any issues. There were aches at times but I suppose whatever I am dealing with, it's to be expected.

    I just worry still that it's a heart issue because I am overweight so the risk factor is there.

    And sometimes the matter of where the pain/ache is changes. When I move my neck back at times, my chest muscle really starts to hurt the more I pull my head back. I am stressed out about this. idk what all this is that is happening to me.

    The fact that the chest muscle hurts more when moving my neck and such, I want to think that indicates some other issue but idk.

    I mostly worry about it being Pulmonary Embolism or heart issue.

    Sounds like it, too.

    Heart pain would not change with movement or neck position. This is muscle strain which can be made worse with worry/anxiety.
