Hello,
It looks that you already had blood work and EKG which is normal. I am happy to know this. By exclusion depending on your normal EKG and blood tests, It looks to me either a mild disc prolapse at your neck or a neck strain. You should do following to have relief in your problem:
1. Do warm fomentation over your neck
2. Wear a soft cervical collar to give rest to your neck muscles
3. Take a mild analgesic with muscle relaxant action on prescription with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopaedic Surgeon
