What Causes Feeling Like Band Around Lower Neck And Fast Heart Beat?

HI I have what feels like a band round my lower neck. Sometimes my heart beats really fast. I do feel anxious very often. this may of course have something to do with losing my brother in June at the age of 47, a real shock to us all and it is very difficult at time and I do struggle from day to day.

Dear- thanks for using our service. It is important to have a checkup of your heart and complete cardiovascular blood work. It could be related to stress and anxiety for your recent loss, however, the best way to manage this is to have a medical evaluation. The band around the neck could be a sign of angina vs anxiety.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
