A member asked:
Woke up due to strain in the neck in the middle of night.not being able to sleep due to the uneasiness. is it serious and what meditation to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep: If the neck strain went away or if you already know what caused it and are getting treatment, it may be anxiety. But medication is not the only answer. Psychotherapy is a better long term solution if it is anxiety. As for medication, SSRIs are often prescribed to help keep mood in the normal range. they don't work fast though. Some physicians may prescribe a small amount of other antianxiety meds
