Neck pain after doing OHP (midwest.social)

Yesterday I was doing overhead press for 3x8 at 30 kilos. I felt a slight pain/tightness towards the back left side of my neck and today it's quite a bit worse. Nothing unbearable, but I can't tilt my head to the back left. I don't think I'm ego lifting but this has happened once before. Any tips for a faster recovery and what I can do to prevent it in the future?

Also, weirdly enough the pain is on the left side and it hurts when I tilt my head left, so when that muscle contracts. I would have expected it to hurt when stretched, no?

People aren't going to be able to diagnose you over the internet. Take some time away from lifts that use muscle in the area if you feel pain. After a week or two if things don't start feeling better see a doctor or a DPT.
