Hi,
It can be related to some spine problems. I would advise you to see your doctor and have a X Rays of spine.
Meanwhile try to do exercises for spine, be much in fresh air, make sure you have correct posture while seated .
And try to avoid stress and alcohol for some time, eat healthy food.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
