Twitch in my neck due to thinking and concentration on a regular basis and also mind goes blank for a few seconds. what is happening??

Hypoperfusion: Twisting your neck can cause kinking of your vertebral arteries and brief decrease in blood flow in the posterior circulation - in other words your brain does not get enough blood. You should avoid doing this, since this can rupture the blood vessel and cause you to have a stroke.
