Why i have pressure on lower spine and upper neck?

Posture: Likely fatigue of muscles from posture and some muscle weakness. Do extra exercises for those areas and watch posture.

Very common: Very common to get neck and low back pain. You should enroll in a formal course of physical therapy and see a spinal specialist.
