There is no need for an ER visit. Your symptom is likely due to neck's muscle strain (poor neck posture during sleep) vs cervicbrachial neuralgia (less likely). You can take tylenol or advil +/- apply cold or warm pack to the area for a day or two. If symptoms persist then you can see your primary doctor. Take care.
