Would having a panic attack cause pain on the front of my neck, outside of my th!
Question: The pain is in the front of my neck - the muscles there...can muscles tense in this area from panic attacks...it hurts when i yawn, but not a sore throat as in an internal sore throat (like the one that comes with a cold or flu) anyone know what else, other than a panic attack could be causing this pain?

I'm not 100% sure, but whenever I have panic attacks I get random pains. Especially if it was a bad panic attack, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the cause. I would just go to sleep and it will probably be gone when you wake up.
yeah it can its different from person to person , my heart goes out to u i suffer from panic attacks too.
A panic attack is a severe attack of anxiety and fear which occurs suddenly, often without warning, and for no apparent reason. Various other symptoms then occur during a panic attack. These include one or more of the following:
* Palpitations or a thumping heart.
* Sweating and trembling.
* Hot flushes or chills.
* Feeling short of breath, sometimes with choking sensations.
* Chest pains.
* Feeling sick.
* Feeling dizzy, or faint.
* Fear of dying or going crazy.
* Numbness, or pins and needles.
* Feelings of unreality, or being detached from yourself.
The physical symptoms that occur with panic attacks do not mean there is a physical problem with the heart, chest, etc. The symptoms mainly occur because of an 'overdrive' of nervous impulses from the brain to various parts of the body during a panic attack.
During a panic attack you tend to over-breathe (hyperventilate). If you over-breathe you 'blow out' too much carbon dioxide which changes the acidity in the blood. This can then cause more symptoms such as confusion and cramps, and make palpitations, dizziness, and pins and needles worse. This can make the attack seem even more frightening, and make you over-breathe even more, and so on.
A panic attack usually lasts 5-10 minutes, but sometimes they come in 'waves' for up to two hours.
yes. your body is under stress when under a panic attack,thus making the sensation of pain around various parts of your body
Perfect question for me to give my answer as i too suffer with panic attacks. My throat area sometimes hurts me too so i sympathise with you. it doesn't happen all the time.
If it's not to do with the panic attacks then maybe you have swollen glands? Just a suggestion.
