Brief Answer: Neck collar Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. The cause for your neck pain could be due to long hours of sitting during work, if I consider it so. This leads to a condition called sprain in the spine in the neck. You must go for a minute walk during your working hours, this will avoid worsening of the condition. Wear an Neck collar while working this will prevent the shear in the spine and prevent the pain. Also relaxes the muscles in the neck. Also you can apply DICLOFENAC gel to get rid of the pain. This is very effective compared to oral painkillers. Regular exercise and massage of the affected parts will help too. Chest pains may have to be evaluated with an ECG and a opinion by a cardiologist. Do get your blood pressure checked regularly. regards,
