Neck Pains

About two days ago i started having these pains in the base of my neck towards my back .. Any time i tilt my head backwards i got a intense shot of pain that basically runs down what feels like the middle of my chest and also around the shoulder areas in my back.. pain to the point where i have to stop what im doing and hold my chest ....Im not sure how this came about but im concerned as this is the first time i experience anything like this .. My intuition is telling me i strained a nerve or muscle in the base of my neck which is causing me all this pain but this feels too intense to be just that .. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated ...

To be honest it can be number of things, no one can tell you for sure without an MRI.
I suggest you see your doctor and request an MRI if the pain persists.

Goodluck,
Sunshine
