A member asked:

I am 31 yrs old good health so what could cause my right neck to hurt could it be a heart attack?

Neck pain: Neck pain would be an unusual presentation for heart attack especially in a 31year old. There are many causes of neck pain, perhaps the most common is lying on a couch with the head bent, and then a legion of others in addition.

Not heart: Your problem is probably stress or anxiety related. If you work at a desk, use a computer, have high stress job or are having other problems, these things can cause tension. Massage can help take away this muscle tension. Try it and see if it helps. Then try to make changes in your life to reduce stress/anxiety. X ray of neck and physical therapist if no improvement after above.
