I have had those exact symptoms....feels like you are being strangled... The pains only lasted a few seconds at a time, but I would get them about 10 times a day. Went thru all kinds of testing, including an EKG and a stress test, both on which were normal. About two weeks after the EKG and stress test, I had a heart attack. I was at work and the pains came on as they had been, but this time they didn't go away, but just got stronger and stronger. There was a blockage in one of my arteries, which is why the pains were in my neck, and tests could not see it unless I was having pains at the same time. I was in my 40's with no history of heart disease. Please don't ignore getting your heart checked out if you are having these pains
