Dear sir,

I think there is nothing wrong but still if you feel you can consult a physician for this.

Hi!
While laughing slight pressure at the back of neck is a normal phenomenon because while laughing loudly chest pressure increases which is transmitted to back of the neck.I think it must have been a muscle which very commonly happens.there is nothing to worry you can take over the counter analgesic if it still hurts!
take care!
