<human>: I have this pressure on the sides of my neck, and it happens often, but goes and come. It is not muscle pain, but it occurs at the same time that I feel this bubble in my chest followed by a sharp pain, sometimes I even feel like my stomach is moving, it is awful... on the right side of neck in particular, I feel like a very sudden pulse, movement, but it seems to be all connected, neck and chest (or stomach?) pain... My doctor wanted to send me for a MRI, and the insurance company denied it based on not having any treatment prior, but I just started having this problem around the middle of october... it seems to be getting worse and more often... then my doctor wanted to send me to an ENT, I don t see the connection, I have been diagnosed with acid reflux, and he gave me medication for that, but it is not helping these other symptoms... It really started to worry me...
<bot>: Hello, Your symptoms are suggestive of acid reflux. Another possible cause to consider would be chronic degeneration of the cervical spine. For this reason, I recommend performing a cervical vertebral column X-ray study and a chest X-ray study. A cervical spine MRI study may be needed. The sharp pain in the chest is typical of a musculoskeletal pain. So, try to relax and don't worry about it! Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
