Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to nerve compression syndrome. It can be due to cervical spondylosis(neck). Avoid pillows. You can use orthopedic pillow. Taking NSAIDs like Ibuprofen will be helpful. This you can take 400 mg thrice daily after food for 5 days.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
