Neck and head tension

[Jamesy]

Has anyone else experienced this symptom.
A pulsating throbbing ache deep in the chest neck throat area which pulsates and you can actually hear it.
It then goes up and around my left side of head and causes a strangling sensation, the eyes pulsate and the forehead squeezes causing an unbearable off balance feeling.
It is usually worst on the left side of head.
I think it is coming from deep within the nerves in the neck upper chest and upper back and throat area.

Are you maybe talking about costochondritis? You might also want to check out Tietze syndrome if you haven't already. I experience costochondritis frequently. Some of my fm friends describe it as feeling like barbed wire is wrapped around their ribs. I find it helpful, to remove the bra on those days and just sick with a big shirt or a camisole.
I have never had it feel like a strangling sensation though. I have had it travel up the side of my head in to the eyes, and feels like a vice....but just for a few seconds, then it goes away. I never made the connection. I don't seem to be of much help to your question. Maybe another member can be more helpful.

I have had the vice feeling around my stomach at times- my chest or head on days- today between the shoulder blades- sharp pain up the right side of my head down through the neck. It’s always unpredictable and I thank God for my good days
