Mystery 10/10 pain, getting hard to keep going

I have a post on my page explaining what I usually go through. However recently I’ve been having new symptoms that are really scaring me. I’m 23yr old female for reference. - The past 3 shifts at my desk job I have had a “ flare up” that lasts 30min- an hour. It’s HORRIBLE. It starts with severe neck/ spine and head pressure and when I say severe it feels like my head and neck are going to explode out of my body. Then it’s followed up with me feeling extremely weak extremely fast, holding my head up seems like a heavy duty task, even sitting up In my chair is damn near unbearable, I get this out of body feeling like I can’t feel / fully control my body, it gets hard to concentrate and most recently today - I got two new additions : a sloshing wooshing sensation in the back of my neck and collarbone area, and a LOUD ringing that lasted for maybe 10 seconds but I couldn’t hear anything else when it happened. I’ve also been having burning in my temples / temple pain and pressure but that isn’t new I’ve had it before so I’m not too worried about that but it is really bothersome. I have a neruo appointment coming up end of Feb ( I’ve had an mri done of my head and neck a while back it was normal ) but I’m seriously so confused and scared at what’s happening to me. Any ideas of what this could be ? Also I dropped a pic below of some of the things I felt the prior episode

Hello @bellamarielongo,

@bellamarielongo sitting at your desk doing PC work just sucks. Our necks were not meant to keep a 9 pound head in place for an extended period of time especially if you have neck issues already. I retired from my last job due to the back problems this added to. I wonder whether you had back issues as a youth leading into adult hood? Consider seeing a physical medicine doctor and also get a physical therapy evaluation as well. PT’s are very knowledgeable and part of their work involves evaluating patients and making treatment recommendations to physicians. Also consider your negative MRI a positive finding because you now know what it is not. I hope you find relief?
