Meningitis: Are you taking any tetracycline type antibiotics or high doses of vitamin a? You may have a condition that mimics meningitis, namely psedotumor cerebri. Consult your doctor for a definitive diagnosis.

Unlikely: Usually the pain of touching your chin to your chest is very intense with meningitis. However, if you are concerned, you should see a doctor to know for sure.
