Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have severe headache along with heaviness in chest and stiffness in neck , you also have history of asthma . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to various reasons byt it seems to me that the symptoms are due to two reasons :-

- First it could be due to allergic reaction or asthma due environment or due to some food like seas food or nuts .

- Secondly in could be due to cardiac problem like angina .

I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper checkup . Doctor maay order certain test like ECG , TMT , blood test and sometimes angiography . Doctor may prescribe nitroglycerine , beta blockers or aspirin . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist . For now take proper rest , do not exert your body , drink plenty of water and take anti histamine like benadryl .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
