Painful Neck, Jaw Pain, Ear Pain And Headache, Heaviness In Chest. Signs Of Stroke?
I woke up this morning with quite a severe pain that began in my neck and went up to my jaw, the ear also to my head. Is this a sign of an oncoming stroke? I did not have any other symptoms such as clamminess, pain or heaviness in my chest of in my left/right arms but the pain would subside slightly and then begin again . This went on for about 10minutes before stopping completely.
Thank you for your advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
These symptoms are unlikely to be due to stroke, and most likely occurred due to a throat problem.
Common symptoms of stroke include difficulty speaking, asymmetry of face, severe headache, weakness or imbalance of one side, etc.
In addition, you should get an ECG done to make sure it was not an angina equivalent due to heart problem.
Best wishes,
