Muscle spasms: I is very common to suffer of muscles spasms that can affect the head and cause headaches as well. Ice and anti-inflammatory meds(like ibuprofen), can help with symptoms. Make sure also you use appropriate pillows that give support to your neck. If not better get evaluated with your PCP ASAP. If pain is severe, having fainting, changes in vision, or sudden weakness go to the ED.
