Likely neck issue: Putting all 3 symptoms together, sounds like you have irritated one (or more) joints in the back of the neck, due to forcible neck extension. Other explanation is simple muscle spasm. Occipital nerve irritation is a 3rd possibility. Really serious problems such as subarachnoid hemorrhage are possible but statistically uncommon.
