Can Neck, Head, Shoulder And Arm Pain With Chest Tightness Be Treated?

I am a 19 year old female and i have been experiencing sharp shooting pains in my neck and head for a couple months now. I have been to a neurologist offering me no answers. I have had a CT scan and x rays, as well as a spinal tap. For the past couple days my shoulder and left arm have been having shooting pains that radiates into a dull, heavy, painful feeling. My chest feels extremely tight as well. Is this realted? Should i go to the ER again?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, all these symptoms are related.
In teenagers, undiagnosed stress and anxiety are very common.
And these can cause multiple pains at head, neck, shoulder along with chest tightness.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You will also need anxiolytic drugs.
Calcium and vitamin d 3 supplements are also beneficial for multiple pains.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
