Throat chakra being "pulled" during meditation?

This happens almost everytime I meditate:
It usually happens when I am in a very deep state of meditation (just regular "focus on the breath type meditation) but has happened when I am in not so deep of a state of meditation. Anyway, I begin to feel the right side of my neck being "pulled" to the right. Sometimes it is subtle, sometimes very very strong.
There have been times when it has been so strong where I feel as if my neck is being completely pulled from my shoulders (though it is NOT painful). I feel as if my neck is being pulled to the right and then up a but, so that my chin is being wrenched up and to the right also. Odd part is.....when I open my eyes I am sitting straight up and my chin is NOT yanked or pointing up and to the right, although I would SWEAR that my body actually twisted in such a manner.
There have been times where I just "go with it" and my neck area seems to do a 180, where I almost feel as if my head has been twisted and I would swear that if I opened my eyes I would be upside down....but alas, I open my eyes and am siting perfectly upright.
Would this have something to do with my throat chakra? Is it "blocked" or "overstimulated"?? I know that chakra has a lot to do with faith and creativity and such. I am a very devout Orthodox Christian (NOT fundamentalist though) and I am an avid musician. Maybe that with help the understanding.
Any clues or input would be most appreciated!
Peace.

The only thing that came to mind is completely physical- is it possible that when you close your eyes in a certain position and hold it for a while your middle ear isn't working correctly with the balance thing and your brain isn't getting any reference for 'up' and 'sideways'?   Have you had a cold recently or did this just start happening, or has it always done this?  Just some ideas.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, this has been happening for a couple of years now. I really never get sick (not even a cold) so probably some sort of ear infection/sickness wouldn't play any part of it.
Posture-wise it's always the same: basic sitting meditation posture, legs crossed, hands in lap (or on knees), straight back...
My first instinct was that it might be something physical as well, but that "pulling" force seems like something that is not coming from within. Almost as if someone had attatched something to the side of my neck and was gently pulling on it.

I have never had my throat chakra pulled before but have had my solar plexus pulled or tugged before while during energy work and it is not a pleasant sensation.
Due to the extreme nature of what I was doing I may have not shut down my activity properly and was paying the price for it.

I'd have to agree with GOTHIKA that it's never been a good thing for me. It seems like when my chakras get "pulled" it gets so intense I feel like my whole energy body might melt down at that moment. The worst part is I've investigated it and tried to just give in or even encourage it but it never seems to do much.
