It would b great if u can describe Ur symptoms in detail.
Try using ice pack at the painful body part at least 3 times a day.
If u feel u r doing excessive household chores during lockdown period...do remember to share the workload with all house members.
Ur pain maybe stress related issue...once u r done with Ur whole day of work..n relax at the end of the day...then Ur body produces symptoms...
It could be poor posture.
Or all of the above...
For treatment icing, sharing the work, relaxation, deep breathing exercises, and wn pain has reduced start with some neck n shoulder strengthening n stretching exercises

This is very vague explanation of ur condition. More detailed assessment is needed for better diagnosis and proper advice.
It could be because of bad postural habit or stress caused by faulty sleeping habit. Or could be condition like frozen shoulder or impingment syndrom aggrivating by sleeping position.
Next Steps
consult online with me for ur diagnosis and exercise plan.

Check your sleeping pattern you have habit of sleeping on your arm then avoid it. Take pillow under your arm it will give support and will not cause pain.do not take big pillow take medium firm pillow for sleep. If you are having more pain then use hot bag or you can use ice packs on your painful area.then do some normal exercise then go to sleep with pillow under your arm.
Next Steps
avoid laptop pc work .or take breaks in between and do shoulder and neck execises in that break.
Health Tips
do visit to nearest physiotherapy clinic to check for proper diagnosis and treatment.
