Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to any cardiac disorders.

Anyway, I would recommend trying to correct your posture and use an orthopedic pillow.
A cervical spine MRI study would help exclude any possible bulging disc in this area.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
