I am concerned about right sided neck ache/headache on the back of my neck/cervical area. this is day 3 of shooting pain on/off. should i be seen?

See a doctor: Symptoms of neck pain and headache with a "shooting" characteristic can be related to anything from a pulled muscle of the neck to a pinched nerve. It may be useful to follow up with your doctor if symptoms do not seem to be improving in a few days or if they worsen in severity. Over the counter pain relievers, heat/cold therapy, and gentle stretching may help relieve the pain prior to a visit.
