Cardiovacular: Lightheadedness and somnolence associated with chest pain are more like NOT associated with muscle swelling in the cervico-thoracic region [trapezius]. At your age it would be appropriate to have a cardiovascular evaluation. Thanks

Very consistent: If the doctor gave you a muscke relaxant and a pain pillyou would be drowsy. Also just the stress of straining that large muscle group would wipe you out. Just continue to do what the doctor said and you will slowly get better
