What Causes Pain In The Neck When Dropping Or Moving The Head?
I receive an electric shock in my left hand when I drop my head to look at something or to pick something up and there is some pain associated with it in my neck on the left side. I recently started working out at a gym and it seems to be getting worse. Should I be concerned?

It can be cervical spondylitis. It is causing nerve compression and that causes tingling and numbnes. I would recommend you to get a neck x ray. Avoid gym for sometime. Take pregabalin tablet and methylcobal vitamin. Avoid using high pillow.
