Brianna,

It sounds like you need to be seen by an alternative form of diagnostics and therapy for your neck. www.NUCCA.org is an association of upper cervical chiropractors who can do upper neck diagnostics and therapy that is quite different than normal chiropractic. I encourage you to find a NUCCA chiro for some diagnostics.

The choking/can't breath sensations sounds like a spinal cord issue. If your neck is inflamed and the nerves are not functioning properly, it can cause the DVC, sleep apnea so that you do not breath properly at night leaving you exhausted and sleepy all day.

I had a problem where my throat would spasm so I could not swallow. It turned out to be a problem with my spine. Once it was resolved, the problem cleared up within an hour or so.

So, when you get back and see this, ask your mom to help you find a NUCCA chiro. If you need help, post here and we will help. We need to know the general location. I looked for chiros near Upstate Medical Center/Syracuse.

Here are the NUCCA chiros closest to Syracuse :http://www.nucca.org/find_doctor_res...=&txtLastName=
