When describing neck pain, key components to convey are the location of the pain, the onset of the pain, severity and frequency of the pain as well as if there is any associating headache, dizziness, nausea or vomiting present as well.
You also want to describe if there is prior history of this neck pain, any weakness, numbness or tingling in your body as well as previous medical history.
All the components described above, when answered together, can paint a clear picture for your health care provider to better understand your type of neck pain and suggest best treatment approaches to help with your neck pain.
A sore neck when waking up is most commonly associated with sleeping position, type of pillow or mattress used or perhaps lack of sleep.
If your neck is in a compromised position for an extended period of time either due to poor sleeping habits or poor support from pillow or mattress, the joints and muscles can tighten up or compress, creating a sore neck.
Lack of sleep or restlessness also can contribute to a sore neck as sleep is critical for our muscle and cell recovery.

A heart attack usually presents with pain starting in the chest and radiates down the arm, usually on the left side.
Even so, pain may radiate to other areas of the body such as the neck, jaw, head, and mid back.
A heart attack presenting with pain just in the neck is uncommon, however it does not mean that it can’t ever happen.
