It could be. I get similar pain to where you describe sometimes when I've been at my computer for several hours without a break. I now set an alarm to remind me to move away from the computer every so often and have a good stretch. You need to try and keep good posture whilst in front of your computer. Have a look at this link for exercises you can do to help you
The symptoms you describe are very fmiliar to me as one element in my pin complex. E.g. I have life-long experience of spine pain, which started with the neck & shoulders. It's taken most of my 60 years to get full & convincing diagnosis. During that time, I've focused on conscientious lifestyle management, and especially the postural training of the Alexander technique & the core stability building of Pilates & tai chi have paid off.
But meanwhile, my consultants had been trying out treatments for spondylosis, arthralgia (in my 40s-50s prescription NSAIDs & analgesics were barely effective, but, over the past 15 years, bilateral facet joint denervations did help a lot). 2.5 years go, it turned out that hypermobility with global ligamentous laxity & infant onset SLE with tendon tightening due to lupus progressing untreated. we're sure the postural training helped me survive & have a career while slogging my way through the diagnosis & treatment by trial & error machine. I am now on systemic lupus prescription treatments and in less pain than I've had since I was in my 20s. I'm 60.
So, yes, please do follow jinger's advice. If your symptoms respond within, say, 3 months, do continue the postural work (try the alexander technique, pilates, tai chi + see a good osteopath or chiropractor) but also note down a full medical history and do some about straight talking with your gp about seeking convincing diagnosis and effective treatment.
But, meanwhile, if these symptoms worsen, do see your gp immediately
Simple neck exercise will help. Do them a couple of times a day and before and after long sessions at a desk or computer.
Do these very slowly without any jerky movements. They can also be done passively, if you have someone who can move your head for you. Just go as far as your neck will allow each side. This may not be even, but will even up with the exercises.
1. shrug shoulders a few times and set head level on neck.
2 keeping shoulders square, move head to left, back to centre, then right, back to centre. Repeat 5 times.
3 drop chin onto chest, again keeping shoulders square, roll head back up to left shoulder, down to centre, up to right (head should be in same place l & r as №2) back to centre. Repeat 5 times.
4 drop head onto chest and lift and drop as far back as you can, then back to level position.repeat 5 times.
5 do the roll by tipping head back and rolling up to each side, repeat 5 times.
When sitting and standing, imagine a string on the top of your head pulling you straight towards the ceiling. Relax your body and make sure shoulders, hips, knees, ankles are all aligned and head sitting correctly on neck (this does feel weird the first few times).
