Let's see....YES you are neurotic you have earned the right! :p

I am going to suggest you go to the Doc for peace of mind if nothing else. I have found that my neck and throat respond entirely differently to colds and bugs now. Strange "life threatining" pains come and go regularly. I also found that nerves are healing for a long time and I get very screwed up sensations.

That said, I don't ignore or put off anything. Yes I might be a neurotic hypochondriac but I don't mind visiting my Doc.
