If I have a strong neck pain due to stress, where should I go? to the GP or to the hospital? Who would attend me faster?

Hello,

The GP would be the place to go with this problem. GP's will have a lot of experience in dealing with neck pain from stress and will help you. The hospital is for medical emergencies and advanced treatment, and patients require a referral from a doctor to be admitted. 

A GP will be able to take you in within a few days if you have strong pain. They will usually  prescribe medication for pain in the short term. Another tip would be to seek a physiotherapist if you experience neck pain often. A psychomotoric physiotherapist would have extra expertice in stress-induced pain. A combination of exercise and stress alleviation techniques would be the best long-term treatment. Your GP will be able to refer you to one. Check out if your Student Health Services offer these kinds of services here

Hope you find help and get better soon,

Doctor
