Sharp Pain On Left Side Of The Neck. Could My Incorrect Posture Have Caused This?

I have a sharp pain when I inhale on the left side of my throat/neck. It happened suddenly as I was lying down in bed about to go to sleep. I spent most of today lying in bed (as I had a long work shift this morning/early afternoon so I was very tired) watching netflix and so I was more or less in one position, leaving heavily on my left side, so the pain may be from that.
