Could be either one: It could be from either. Try sleeping on your back with a small pillow under your neck. If the neck pain persists, see your physician to have it evaluated.

Dizzy: There are many factors that contribute to such a condition. I'm not sure if you mean "lightheaded" or vertigo and if its positional, what makes it better and worse. Keep a diary of the event and then see your doctor. At your age, neck position and vascular compression as the cause of vertigo would be unlikely. Pay attention to your hydration and diet and make sure to mention any other sx to pcp.
