Good afternoon
As per the report, the disc bulges are not affecting your nerves or spinal cord. At your age, it is a common finding. Nothing to worry about.
Your symptoms are very typical of young professionals who are working at a desk(I see that you are a management professional). The pain is of a mechanical nature and there is nothing to worry about.
Once the pain subsides, you can do all kinds of sports activities, but I would advise avoiding sports if you are actively experiencing pain.
Next Steps
You need to adopt healthy posture practices while working. You can find some good resources on google itself. If the pain is too much, you can take a muscle relaxant such as myoril, myospas, etc. Apart from that, try hot compresses on the painful areas. Once the pain subsides, please visit a physiotherapist and learn "isometric neck strengthening exercises"
Health Tips
Please keep in mind that in your case. the main treatment is to adopt good posture practices and the regular exercises for the neck. Medicines, hot bag, etc will only provide temporary relief. Till the pain goes away, avoid any heavy lifting, forward bending, and sporting activities.
