What Does Stiffness In The Neck Along With Chills Indicate?

I have had some symptoms over a length of time, not sure if anything to worry about. Usually they go away .....Neck is really stiff and is sort of a usual thing. No recent headaches, but over the last 3-4 months have experienced headaches. Noticed the chills in the past couple days. I know someone who has Lymes that suggest I get tested, but don t you need to have been bitten by a tick for Lymes? Thank you
