I have an obsessive fear of spontaneous carotid artery dissection ever since i read about the case of someone who had a stroke from neck manipulation and it's been haunting me ever since. i am too afraid to even move my neck

I've got some health anxiety about the heart palpitations that wake me up in the night and constant left pectoral muscle twitching but I can't be bothered to inconvenience myself enough to get it checked out

Unless your having chest pains and shortness of breath you are probably fine anon

I sure hope so. I abused a lot of stimulants the last decade and I can't get myself off of nicotine and energy drinks yet. It's not fun though being unsure if you're either dying, or just crazy. I can't tell if I'm gaslighting myself that I'm fine and nothings wrong or being hypochondriac

>neck manipulation
What does this entail exactly? Just moving your neck? A chiropractic adjustment? That does sound really scary no matter what. I think I will just try to lay in bed and not move anything but my finger to type out posts.
