@A MyCOPDTeam Member Do you have an iPad ? Recently read that people get stiff necks from bending their heads , each position is equivalent of adding more weight to your head which in turn causes the neck to become stiff.maybe someone else could explain it better than I.

Not necessarily.....get it checked out. It could be because you use your neck and shoulder muscles to help you breathe, but it could also be something else.

Not a part of COPD. Could be as simple as sleeping wrong, or swollen glands. No harm in getting it checked out.

I have never heard that COPD might cause neck pain, I also get neck pains once and awhile but always thought it was from being on the Computer a lot.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member I have a kindle fire and I am on it all the time. I really think that is what my problem is with my neck and shoulders.
