do you mean your muscles also felt like spasms?

Dr. D. I really don´t want to be demanding, you probably have a lot to accomplish. It´s just, I´m so desperate for having answers. Could you please answer my question to the ACE- Inhabitor and the other one about the head circumference ( is this how you spell it??).

Today I had an appointment with my family doctor, and I told him about the head age, and the neck pain. His idea is, that probably the msucles of my neck are tensed, cause my ligaments can´t protect me from sleeping with a bad position of my head. This should cause the pain. He just couldn´t explain why the ACE- Inhabitor helps me with this.
So I´m not sure if it´s all about tensed muscles. Could it be an instability of the atlas ( the first vertebra?) and if so, how do i find out. Can it be seen in an X-ray?
Any ideas?

Dr. D. would it be possible to send you MRI pictures of my neck, via Mail or so?
They are around 7 years old, but that´s all I have so far.

I would love to tell my doctor about the discroll theory, but I´m afraid, that he thinks I´m hypochondriac, which I think could happen. Probably I´ll tell him little by little about all these symptoms, so that he might notice that it can´t be all explained by tensed muscles ( which I think ).
