What Can Cause A Sharp Pain In The Neck?

About 2 weeks ago I started getting a random very quick sharp pain in the left side of my neck. Maybe occurring once a day.
This morning they were more frequent. Is this a sign of anything?
Several months ago my eye doctor said I had a hemorrhaged small vessel in the back of my left eye, but glaucoma eye test was negative.

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using helthcaremagic site ,
it may be some kind of muscular spasm usually theses muscles are mostly used when yawning or such movements . these are like cramps slightly painful but with no need to worry but for your sake you may ask your physician for some tests or radio;ogical examinations like MRI but that only if these qiuck pains became more frequent ,i dont think your hemmorhaged small blood vessel is the cause of it .
other causes of sharp pain in the neck are lymphadenitis , tonssilitis ,sore throat ,epiglottis infection , abcesses , bad sleeping posture.

Hope the above information helps you,Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
