Feeling something move in the Neck Posted: 09-07-06 17:08pm
For the past two weeks I've had a feeling
of something in my neck. Just recently I
was working out and now the feeling has
shifted from the right of my neck to the
left of my neck. I don't understand what
this is. It looks like if I press on the
spot where I feel it it shifts sides. I
went to the doctor about a week and a half
ago, he checked me out and he said that he
believes it's nothing serious, but this is
freaking me out. He prescribed Omoprazole
20MG #30, but it doesn't seem like it is
helping. How can something move in my
neck like that, and what is it?

According to your symptoms (“feeling
something moving in your neck”), you may
be experiencing some anxiety because no
organic disease acts like that. I don’t
know why your doctor prescribed
Omeprazole. It is a proton pump inhibitor
used for decreasing stomach acidity. You
can visit an ENT specialist to check your
throat and neck. If everything is OK, you
might consider going to a mental health
professional to identify possible
psycho-somatic connections.
