Why Having Tension In Neck When Breathing?
Good evening. I have a problem with my neck. It always gets tense when I m standing still at the computer. Breathing only makes it worse. Also, when I am standing up without moving, I feel like I am a piece of wood, and also am very tense. What could it be? Anxiety or something more? Thank you in advance!

It could be due to conditions like cervical spondylitis. As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persists you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
