What Causes A Fast Heart Rate And Neck Pain?
My husband went to the bathroom and when he sat down the right side of the back of his neck started hurting, his heart started beating fast , and light started hurting his eyes (the faster his heart was beating the worse his neck pain became). He is feeling a little better better now but the back of his neck still hurts. He is not numb anywhere and can talk and walk like normal as well as lift both arms... What could cause this?

Hi
He needs this evaluated right away
It might be a tension headache from spasm of his neck muscles but it could be a sign of a leaking artery aneurysm in his brain so he needs an MRI scan right away
