Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your case. I am very happy to know that you are doing yoga at home. It is good for health. Your complain seems to be a pinch nerve in neck. It can be early stage of cervical spondylitis. I would advice you to avoid any neck bending activity for three four days. You should also avoid using very big pillow. For pain you can take a pregabalin tablet.
If your symptoms persist then you should show to a neurologist. Let me know if I missed some thing. Feel free to ask any other questions. Thanks and take care.
