Hello. I have exactly the same problem. Yesterday I went to a neurologist. It's all nervous and depressed. I was worried it wasn't something else, but it wasn't. I advise you to see a neurologist for a checkup. Make your life calmer, do not strain unnecessarily.
It is possible that after experiencing stress, the body has not found a way to recover and drag the problem with tight muscles.
When muscles cannot relax, one cannot fall asleep.
Go to the mountains, great hikes.
Exercise in nature is mandatory.
Pills, junk, no, not for a 20 year old.
And the problem with the eyes is another proof that the area of your neck is very tight.
Poor blood supply to the head.
Nature will bring you back to life.
Have you tested for vitamin B12?
Honey, I think you're depressed. She often has such pains. Lying down and not being able to do work come from there. Visit a psychologist and I wish you success.
Change the screen instantly (I'm 99% sure it's flashing) and also check what your home lighting is. If the lighting is LED (LED, in English light-emitting diode, LED), the bulbs are likely to blink, and this leads to severe fatigue, indifference, nervousness, and with prolonged exposure - and permanent migraine. Also avoid watching CRT TV and screen.
Regarding the computer's monitor, in addition to a flashing backlight, it almost certainly has increased levels of gray-purple light spectrum, which further adversely affects the brain and vision. If you can't buy a new model without flashing lights, and you want to continue using the current one, then I recommend you to download the free flux program (https://justgetflux.com/) with a color temperature setting of "4700K" to they do not hurt your eyes when standing in front of the screen for a long time. This program also partially or completely eliminates the blinking of the backlight, depending on the screen model. Everyone is different.
Even with it, it is advisable to use flux with the above setting to ensure a warm picture that does not irritate the eyes and brain.
Success!
The nervous system is nothing more than a bundle of cables.
For some of us, these cables are just too tight, and the "signal" is lost and creates abnormalities (understand blind spots in vision, blurred vision, strange sensations in the limbs, panic attacks, etc.)
Try to get drunk sometime. Unfortunately, alcohol is the most effective temporary solution to the problem of tense nerves.
Examine thyroid hormones - TSH, FT4, FT3, TAT, MAT. Fatigue and depression can be caused by thyroid problems. Another thing that may be insufficient fluid and water intake, as well as low blood pressure.
For the monitor - there may be oscillations that strain your eyes. Check it with the phone's camera (there should be no moving lines) or on a white background you can swipe a pencil or pen very quickly (it should not leave clear intermediate contours between the two end positions).
Nonsense, psychologists!
So pills and stories!
Run to the nearest mountain, the first day you will drag, on the second also on the third you will be different.
Is there no movement, no life.
Your body is deprived of the vitamin or vitamins you need to get. I bet you miss B12, but just in case go to the doctor. Eat mussels or oysters, and maybe eggs, like chicken, you actually have a lot of options.
If not - test for thyroid hormones (TSH, ft3, ft4). Also test hemoglobin, iron, ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D. You can test these things together in a laboratory for 40-50 BGN. total (recently researched). Potentially, if you have money, test for testosterone and estradiol.
What do you eat, what do you drink? Is there food that you overdo? Even healthy foods such as yogurt can be harmful in large quantities (saturate the body with calcium and upset the calcium/magnesium balance, leading to depression). In general, if you are ill, you have to make slight changes in your life until you recover.
Chronic fatigue syndrome, low serotonin (depression), vegetative dystonia ...
Number 2, could you explain a little more about this with the tight muscles in my neck, that I also associate it with my headache. When they rub my neck and it passes, but usually a little later (after the end of the massage) it comes back. And the headache is in the back of the head, throbbing. Sometimes it's just "bloated", sometimes my eyes hurt. What is this condition with tight muscles?
What you are describing is a mass phenomenon - depression. I'm not much better than you. But there came a time when procrastination, apathy, laziness became truly unbearable for myself, I felt that I was about to get lost and I started reading. What did I read psychology, religion, consciousness, subconscious, teachers, schools, teachings, positive energy, self-love, etc. And I came to the following conclusion: You may be the most talented, the most positive, the smartest, but if you do not cultivate self-discipline, all this will remain unmanifested. Everyone in this world has the potential for great deeds in a given field. But what great deeds if we can't go to bed, wake up, eat at the same time, if we can't decide to argue or study for an hour and follow that decision. If we lie down for another hour instead, watch another movie, tap the phone and the day is gone - we enter a comfort zone ... which is actually terribly uncomfortable, we suffer from guilt, we give birth to new fears, diseases, we associate. Then we work hard, we have a hard time building relationships, we don't fit in anywhere. My truth may not be yours, but incorporating structure into my daily life helps me tremendously. I think this is the beginning, the foundation. From there, cultivation, self-love, balance. But the first step, just striving to be happy with yourself is the key to health, to happiness, to everything.
I am №2
For №12
I happened to see the issue that I don't support the new notifications feature to keep track of topics.
Well, how do I explain it.
The neck can be grasped by many things, by a current, it rained and you were wet, you sat on the computer for hours.
The muscles of the body must be healthy, work. But the neck is stiff, it pulls other muscle groups, and they tighten. Especially if you work in front of a computer every day, your neck roars with immobility.
Yes, they will rub you, it will make you feel better, but you have already affected other muscle groups.
Therefore, you need a complete relaxation of the body, not just the neck.
For example, if there is a lever next to you, go and try.
Even if you don't gather, just hang like a monkey, on one hand, then on the other on both.
And I will feel how a whole consistent group of muscles is involved in the movement plus the neck muscles.
When the muscle is tight, it does not work, it is in Off mode.
You have to release it, put it back into operation.
This pulsation means that the flow of blood to the head is difficult. And the head hurts because its cells are not supplied with blood. They stand "dry".
I have to go against the understanding of medicine.
If you want to try it, you won't like my proposal, but a close person of yours, with lard, rubs his neck and back at least, at least in his burnt part, plus his hands.
Lard relaxes the muscles the fastest, then with alcohol in the morning you clean yourself so that it doesn't smell like a shower and you have to feel the difference.
Until №14 / 2 from №12:
The problem came from stress and tension, but not the ones we usually talk about, but huge ones. It was three years ago and it was a matter of life and death, literally. A real medical miracle is that I'm pretty healthy. It didn't happen from a cold or sitting at a computer. My work is not on a computer and I am not in one position all day. There is movement, though not much. I often go to the countryside, I walk, I don't miss movement.
My question was, is this condition due to any irregular impulses to these muscles, or to what? I'm a girl, if that matters.
With each stress, the abdomen contracts first.
This means that all the abdominal muscles and organs contract accordingly.
And if they don't let go, the problems begin.
Under stress, as the abdomen contracts, so does the diaphragm.
Therefore, it is good in a supine position, a little castor on the hands and circular movements clockwise, emphasizing the hypochondrium, to reach the diaphragm and relax.
And the safest way to relax the diaphragm is to squat.
But the Russians listened, they claim that the condition of the neck and abdomen are directly related, often talking exactly about the diaphragm.
If a person has a frequent heartbeat, the diaphragm is also a reference point for the problem.
I'm not a doctor, not to confuse things, I speak as if I have healed myself from some things.
