A member asked:

When i woke up, my neck started being stiff. is this normal when your sick or sleepy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CERVICAL STRAIN: You could have strained neck muscles doing exertional activity which might have overtaxed muscles, but neck stiffness can be due to degenerative change, disk problems, and if sick, fluid changes can bring about meningismus. Likely your situation is benign but contact your doctor if gets worse, radiates down arm or is associated with numbness or weakness.
