How to an obstructed airway affect the neck muscle, if at all? can this lead to muscle tension in the neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obstructed airway: Obstructed airways makes you work harder to get enough air in the lungs. As a result you use your accessory muscles more. This does not cause them to go into spasm but they can hurt.
