What Causes Clipping Like Feeling In Neck?
Ok yesterday I had a migraine and I had to stay home, today I feel a clipping like feeling on the left side of my neck and a dripping down my throat. I am scared of a brain aneurysm because I had a serious head injury when I was 6 hit the cement and cracked my skull. I am very tired but scared to go to sleep I do not want my girls not to be able to wake me up in the morning. I do not do drugs but I do smoke I do not have high blood pressure I give blood every 8 weeks. Thank You!

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any aneurysm of brain haemorrhage.
Also, the kind of injury that you had in the past would not predispose you to a higher risk of getting a brain aneurysm.
Your symptoms are most probably due to nose or throat infection. An ENT evaluation would be helpful.
If you are in doubt, please get a brain CT scan done.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
