Platysma Band: Normally there is mild asymmetry throughout the body, but sometimes it is more noticeable. Regardless, that is your anatomy and there is no reason for concern. For the most part, platysma muscles are vestigial and serve no function in humans.

: I’m not sure exactly what you mean by a “static feeling”, but the rubber band analogy suggests tightness.

Good that you had someone check you, but since the symptoms continue, you might need more evaluation than you had the first time.
