My neck has a weird pressure and brain feels numb..?

The left side of my neck feels sort of weird. I will explain this:

It feels like there's pressure on my neck so I have to bend it sideways to relieve that and it also feels like the pressure goes to my brain and my ear and makes my head/brain feel numb.

I don't know why this happens. I have to constantly do this. I think my posture is fine.

Any ideas?
If I press a certain place on the side of my chin near the side of my neck, it relieves the pressure.
 
I'm *definitely* not a doctor... but it sounds like something is clogging/blocking an artery in your neck that leads to your brain....

And tilting your head sort of "shifts" whatever is blocking your artery, so the blood can (temporarily) continue flowing to your brain.

Either that, or your artery is somehow... er.... ?contracted? so blood flow is limited. And bending your neck stretches the artery a bit to allow more blood to flow. Either scenario seems like it would have the same effect.

The reason why your brain feels numb is probably because of lack of oxygen and nutrients from the blood that *should* be flowing at a normal rate to your brain....

Remember I'm not a doctor, so I'm *probably* not right... (Hehe. I'm 13.)

But I still suggest you see a doctor right away. (From what I've said, it sounds like you could have a heart attack VERY soon.) So I mean RIGHT AWAY! o_O

I hope everything turns out okay, and I'm just overreacting! Hehe... =]
