How Can Pain And Numbness In The Neck Along With Headaches Be Treated?

Hello. I believe I have recently stressed a previous injury to my neck. Feel a pinch in my upper spine, neck is tight on left side, left side of face is slightly numb/tingling. Also get a sense of vertigo, falling forward, brief shortness of breath while sitting but standing all symptoms disappear except for tight neck and face numb/tingle sensation. Ideas? Also, headache on front both sides.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.



Your all symptoms are more suggestive of stress, anxiety and migraine. But better to first rule out hypertension, heart and brain diseases.

So consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and MRI brain. If all these are normal then no need to worry for HT, heart and brain diseases. Undiagnosed stress and anxiety can lead to similar symptoms. It also precipitate migraine headache. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify the stress inducer in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs like Propranolol or Flunarizine combination.
