What Causes Severe Pain Rushing Through My Neck?

Had a mini stroke Thursday night. Was checked by MRI, CT Scan, Ultrasounds, and Lab Work and nothing was found to be a problem. Was giving blood thinner to break up any clots I may of had. Tonight I held my nose and blew, wanting to pop my ears. When that happened, I had a sever pain rush through my neck. What caused this? Is or could this be related to my Stroke? Do I need Immediate Medical attention? please let me know thanks.Linda

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

As you had a mini stroke and you are already on blood thinners with all diagnostic test done, on a safer side I will advice you to have a checkup again with your clinical signs and symptoms.

Usually, neck pain cannot be due to initiative of the stroke but still judging is not possible until a thorough clinical examination is done.

You can try doing some breathing exercises by which the muscles of neck relaxes. Also, such forceful exertion out of nose may not lead to any neck injuries either until the head is shaken up badly.

Having a check by clinical examination is not at all a bad thing to do.
