Hello,
Neck pain is not commonly related to asthma or acid reflux. It can be related to cervical spondyloarthritis.
I suggest doing an X-ray of the neck for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using Voltaren gel for local applications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
