A member asked:
Why is it that every time i get a panic attack i feel like a pressure/hottish/irritation feeling in the back of my neck?

Anxiety can do all: Anxiety can make people feel almost anything! if this only happens with anxiety attacks then its likely just anxiety. Hyperventilating can cause weird sensations so consider/ avoid that. If you're worried you have other causes you can consult your family doctor if you have one. Work on learning deep muscle relaxation including the big muscles in your neck.
