Hi,

Welcome to XXXXXXX

You are probably suffering with Cervical Spondilytis.

If you are feeling heaviness in the chest also, get ECG done and if report of ECG is abnormal, consult a Cardiologist.

If ECG is normal, get X-ray of cervical spine(both views) done and consult an Orthopedic surgeon for examination.

Meanwhile avoid Pillow and can take Tab.Neurobion forte & Analgesic with muscle relaxant tab 2-3 times daily. You can apply Relaxyl ointment also.twice daily.

Thanks for trusting XXXXXXX and posting your query.

Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.

If you have further concerns in this regard, I would be happy to discuss those with you as well.

With good wishes,
