Hi,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a wrong position during sleep, from compression of the occipital nerves which lay in this region. I would recommend performing a cervical spine X ray study. An orthopedic pillow would help improve your symptoms.
Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Aida
