Dear Basant

It seems that your Neck pain is due to bad sleep posture, just try to relax the muscle of your Neck region and slowly move your Neck in all possible direction. If your pain doesn't subside, consult with orthopedic surgeon. However, your pain will subside within few days.

The average adult head weighs close to 3.6 Kg and is supported entirely by the muscles in the neck and upper back, so it isn't surprising that one of the most common complaints in adults is neck pain. Many regular activities in an adult's life can put stress and strain on the neck tissues, tendons, ligaments and muscles. Sitting too long at a desk, or driving long distances are two major roles in neck aches. others are working on computers for long periods of time, bad posture, bad sleeping position, toting unbalanced heavy loads and of course reaction to stress and tension in emotional states.

As a result of strain, the tendons can shorten and ligaments can lose their tensile strength. The neck muscles may go into spasms, causing not only neck problems, but also headaches and radiating pain in the arms and shoulders.

What you can do to relieve these pains without going to the doctor's office is some simple heating applications, massaging, stretching exercises and of course rest. Using heat increases the blood flow throughout the neck. Use heat packs, mud packs, warm baths or an arnica essence wrap.
Isometric exercises release tension and help alleviate neck spasms. Do not force head too far forward and stop if any pain is felt.

Stretching also is a good relaxer for sore muscles. Carefully bend head to right and hold for ten seconds, then roll gently, head forward, then to left. Then shrug shoulders, hold for a few seconds and then release. Repeat if needed. Go slowly and don't force head to shoulders, only go as comfortably as you feel.
