Burning neck/collarbone/chest pain?

I've been experiencing a sharp burning above my collar bone, that continues up along my neck and is starting to hurt my ear a bit. It hurts very badly to breathe and I cannot take a deep breath, when I do it hurts my chest and above my collar bone even more. I dont experience this everyday but sometimes I feel my neck burning when I do activity. But this happened tonight while I was just sitting on the couch.

What could this be?

Asthma?

    It's probably a muscles tightening up in your neck, they can be painful. To get rid of neck pains you have to free up your neck muscles and here's how to do that:

    Neck

    Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about one minute, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.

    For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
