A member asked:
I woke up days ago and my neck felt tight, as the day went on i got a headache. should i be worried?

No necessarily: Muscle pain can cause headaches, particularly high cervical strain/spasm and pain. If you start having any difficulty with vision, balance, strength, numbness, etc, then it might be something more serious. If your symptoms are not improving you should visit your doctor for evaluation.
