What Causes Neck Pain When I Get Angry?

Hi, I'm 17 year old, and I've experienced this pain in my neck, in my left artery to be exact, when I get really angry or annoyed. It feels like it burns and tightens up. I only experience this with my girlfriend, maybe because I just can't release my anger on her, and rather try to ignore the anger. Any help on whether this is common or can be dangerous over time would really be helpful. Thanks.

Hi

I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you for the attitude.

Now I guess you have some adjustment disorder and it could be due to some stress in your personal life. In that case, you need some help.

However let me give my opinion here.

I think a combination therapy of antidepressant and low benzodiazepine would help you. These drugs would help you to come out of this phase. You can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would keep you calm and relax.

For this you need expert's guidance by psychiatrist or psychologist .
