Laurel,

I hope that you are right that this is not related to cancer at all. I'm thinking that it does have something to do with the neck also and isn't cancer. My biggest fear in this whole cancer ordeal is brain mets. Trying to remain positive and hopeful.

Thanks for chiming in. I will keep you posted on the results.

Take care,
Brenda

This happened to me. During personal training for weight lifting. It's horrible and horrifying. I too had a CT scan and all was well. The cause is not breathing while lifting. It seems natural to not breathe during the lift part but you have to concentrate on breathing. Otherwise you tense and tense your head hard. It's the tensing muscles and low oxygen when doing it. I should have mentioned it to my trainer. He knew exactly what it was and yell at me to breathe after that.

I got the scan to be safe and so should you but you will see it's nothing. If you go to a gym, ask a trainer about this and they will confirm what I explained. Relax and breathe.

Hugs to you.

Thanks Becky! Your post certainly relieved a great deal of stress. My doctor did mention that it could be due to not breathing correctly while lifting. I'm hoping that is all it is.

Take care,
Brenda

I think it is. Rest easy. You will see all is well.
