Lifestyle Lift side effects - Should I be worried that my neck feels "too tight"?

I had the LL done a little over 2 weeks ago. I have felt like I'm being strangled ever since. My neck in front is so tight that if my chin is tucked while lying on a pillow my air supply and blood supply to my head are altered. Since I've had the procedure done, I've had chest pain, weakness, nausea, shortness of breath, headaches, accelerated heartbeat and/or heart palpatations sporatically. I'm beginning to get scared as these sre beginning to worsen. I discontinued the strong pain medication after the first week because it made me sick, so I know that isn't an issue.

I fear fainting if I bend over. Please tell me if you know what is happening here!! Can a LL that is too tight around the neck cause serious problems?
