Virus?: If this happened a single time & resolved on it's own, it's possibly a virus or due to toxic exposure (carbon monoxide, for instance). If it is chronic, could be more serious like neuralgia, migraine,meningeal pain (meningitis), etc. That would require immediate evaluation, esp. if neck became stiff.In the latter cases,a good history & phys. incl osteopathic hands-on exam may provide some answers.
