Hello lawrence.natassia  stress in any form increases the chances of bodily complaints and many other somatic symptoms. The pressure on left side of neck way up to head may be due to a lot of conditions- - Anxiety, in heightened anxiety states chocking sensation in neck occurs and may present with weakness, palpitations, headache, tremors etc. Panic syndrome may also present with such symptoms. - Somatic pain syndrome, non specific pain occurs due to chronic stress - Part of migraine or also may be due to muscle fatigue. So best can be done in such situation if such type of situation recurs then visit some good psychiatrist and take opinion, It can be easily treated. Thanks Take Care
