Constant neck tension and cracking
My neck pain/tension started when I worked in the BPO industry. Its been 4months since I left that job but my neck tension still comes every now and then. Sometimes I feel like the tension radiates through one side of my back. Something that has been constant is that when I tilt my head sideways to the right, it cracks. There is also constant tension on my upper back area. Last night as I was working out, the tension in my upper back area was pretty intense and I felt a bit dizzy.
