A member asked:

Need help, neck shakes triggered more by anxiety..

Dr. David Hoffman answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Shake and anxiety: The fact that the shaking occurs more when under stress just means that it worsens the symptoms. Symptoms still likely to be neurological and physical in nature. See a medical professional ASAP.
