Anxiety: I understand your tiredness and tension. Feel good about functioning of your heart- no pain with cardio exercises and normal EKG. Marked tightness on the sides of neck indicates tension and anxiety, possibly due to stresses of marriage, relationships, and children leaving home, work and finances. Use Relaxation Music, Breathing Relaxation, Visual Imagery, Yoga. See Psychiatrist for Therapy

Nutrition ROM neck: I agree that stress is probably contributing to your neck pain. 1) Drink 2 l of water daily 2) find a magnesium rich food list on the internet --> 400 mg/d. 3) stretch neck muscles in all directions(12 reps) 4x/d for 3 months. If your difficulty swallowing persist after 2 weeks of inc hydration and inc magnesium intake, see your PCP
