Need eval: Very difficult to assess without more info. Spasms of the trapezius muscle could be a cause. But then there may be underlying arthritis in neck or pinched nerve. Infection can also cause these type of symptoms or just basic headache variant. Best to go see doctor to be sure nothing more concerning is going on.
