When I move my neck my upper back and chest hurts, got a little bit better today

[Lockey1995]

Hello,

I've woke up quite scared this morning but I think I know whats caused it. The past 3 weeks I've been sleeping down stairs on the sofa with 2 cusions and my pillow on top. I've woke up this morning in agony, when I move my neck to the left or the right my chest and my upper back hurts. What do you think it is I'm quite scared at the minute in case it's anything to do with my spine etc.

Thank you, Jack

Edit: It's a little bit better today but hasn't healed fully

I've had this! I woke up n the morning and couldn't really move my neck without excruciating pain! Turns out I'd given myself whiplash in my sleep and obviously when your neck isn't moving properly it puts strain on your chest and back :( Went to the doctors and They told me to take some muscle relaxant and to get a massage .
