Can a trapped nerve in my neck affect an ecg and elevate heart rate? i in a lot discomfort when i took my annual ecg the bpm were 108 usually its 90.

Not directly, but: If during the ecg, you were anxious or tense and stressed from your pain and positioning, you certainly could elevate both pulse and blood pressure. Not unique for this to occur in doctor offices, as it is called the "white coat syndrome"...
