Brief Answer:
Seems no emergency there.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

I don't think yours is an urgent condition unless it started suddenly and symptoms are unbearable.

Most likely it is a condition related to muscles such strained muscles, bad sleep position, etc.

So, first get evaluated by your primary care Doctor in order to get a correct understanding of your condition and to start a treatment.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Kind regards.
