Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
It is possible that you had a seizure last night. This can present in many ways and appearance of foam from the mouth with fast breathing and heart beat is one of them. The shoulder and neck pains could be due to sudden muscle contractions.
Please consult a neurologist and take along your friend so that he can explain in the seizure activity complete details. The neurologist might ask you to do electroencephalogram EEG and CT scan if required. He will also give you medications after clinical examination to prevent seizures.
Please take medications on time and be alert if you get a similar seizure again. Do not drive, got for swimming, cook alone at home or work with heavy machinery unless your doctor allows you.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Abnormal electrical activity in brain is seizure.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
Seizures are changes in the brain's electrical activity. This can cause dramatic, noticeable symptoms or even no symptoms at all. The foaming can be due to the abnormal brain electrical activity for a short duration. The fast breath and heart beat can also be due to the same reason.
Shoulder and neck pain is due to muscle spasm or contractions.
