Involuntary head shaking

2022-01-28 08:33:51
At tense or anxious situations, I feel a sudden stiffness on my neck which goes upto my head and also mild head shaking for a few seconds. This happened to me recently while giving an interview and also today some time ago while I was talking to someone. My head just starts shaking! It only occurs only when I try to focus during anxious situations. I also had problem of cervical spondylitis a year ago. Don't know if it's related to the shaking Please help
