It could be from triggerpoints too.
It's like a small knot{& very tender sore spot} in your muscle.
I even get them on my scalp.
Once I relax and do stretches they usually go away, if not then I do the trp pressure release on them.

you can experiment if you find sore spots to see if it helps or not.
there are a few places not to use pressure unless you are experienced (mainly arteries/veins and small bones in the throat)
read the links below for more info

When my RSI/TOS hit at the beginning I had bad dizzy spells, nausea & total fog brain - I was thinking "am I getting Alzheimer's, ADD and speaking problems all at once??" It was bad!
In my case I think it stemmed from the vertebral artery being affected by muscle spasms.
- because after good PT and off work those problems faded away.
My voice is still affected as far as singing - it is weak and falters after 3 songs or so.
