Hello,

our symptoms do not seem to be related to acid reflux. The pain in the neck is not usually related to any aneurysm. The most common cause underlying neck pain is a wrong posture or chronic degeneration of the vertebral column. For this reason, I recommend performing a cervical spine X ray study and trying to correct your posture. Regular physical activity can help improve your situation. If the pain persists, I would recommend performing a cervical spine MRI study.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
