What Could Cause Restrictions In The Throat, Breathlessness And Tightening Of Muscles All Around The Neck?
Question: First thing when I get up from laying down or sleeping is throat restricts my breathing and thick mucus forms also restricting breathing and swallowing. Next starts my left neck muscles behind ear tightening. Then my right neck muscles pull my head down to right and pull my right shoulder up.This causes more contractions on left neck muscles and lots more pain on left side, the right side of neck is just uncomfortable. Left side now gets so bad it prevents me turning head to left unless I lay down for a little bit first.

Why does my symptoms all go away when I lay down, bend over or move around at a quick pace?
My Acupuncturist says I have a C1 Vertebra that is binding up and may be the cause of some if not most of the problems. He and my chiropractor do not know why my symptoms go away when I lay down.
Thanks for your time, XXXXXXX
