What Causes Neck Tightness?

Well, I have a tightness in the front of my neck. I am tired to the point where I am sleeping 12 hours a day plus naps...I used to live on 5 hours of sleep. I have gained more than 15 pounds yet my diet has not changed. I dance an average of three times a week, and by dance I mean ballroom, country, or swing dancing and lately I am very tired after one song. Im used to dancing for a living average of 10 hours a day for 6 days.

Hello,

I can understand your concern. Feeling of tightness in the neck, weight changes over a short period of time without any obvious reason, changes in sleep pattern and excessive fatigue can be associated with the thyroid gland disorder.

I would advise you to visit your physician to check the thyroid gland by physical examination and go for blood test to determine thyroid hormones level. Based on the test results, further investigations and/or treatment can be advised.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. Let me know if you have follow up questions.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
