I feel a "tightness" in my neck & shoulders when i laugh or cough. i can't recall do anything to cause this.

Pulled muscle: You probably pulled a muscle in the neck or face. You can put some ice on it every 20 mins each hour. Take some Motrin or Tylenol (acetaminophen) for the pain. It should get better in a few days. Good luck! Feel better!
