hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
as you have swollen eyes and also neck pain post headstand this are common signs and symptoms which arise.
You need to avoid for a day or two such position and then see if the pain is reduced if it doesn't than a neurological examination is advised.
as post headstand, there is a physiological process of excess fluid rushing to head and lead to swelling of the eyes and it's a common effect which stays for a while and reduces as time passes by.
Also the neck pain can be due to compression of the body weight on the forehead leading to neck muscle spasms. As mentioned if the pain subsides in day or two it's just activity induced but if the pain progresses than a neurological examination is advised.
In my clinical practice we advice to wait for a day or two and if the symptoms aggrevates than a neurological examination is performed.
