Hi,

Your symptoms following the injury to your neck have a good chance of being related to stress and anxiety as opposed to a specific organic cause. Your symptoms are not consistent with either a brain, heart or lung pathology. You will find relief if you can engage in relaxation therapy and rhythmic breathing which can be performed much the same as when people perform yoga or meditation.

The neck injury is not anatomically or physiologically connected in any way to losses of vision or chest twinges occurring during breathing maneuvers.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
