Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Squeezing type of feeling in neck and chest are commonly due to bronchospasm.
And bronchospasm is commonly seen with lung diseases like bronchitis and asthma.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose them but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of PFT report.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
