Rhomboid pain due to poor posture
I worked in an IT company and rhomboid pain(left side) started, it was bearable so I didnt give much attention to it, I sleep on my stomach and my posture is poor, right now (after 1.5yrs)my left arm feels a little numb and I am getting headaches only on the left side. On a level of 10 , I would rate my pain as 6,Is this serious? It comes only when I am in a poor posture for a long time. But I can notice my left hand's grip strength has reduced.

The thing is your nerves are also getting involved in the tightness of the muscle due to which your nerves are getting compressed caused weakness in grip strength.The condition is not so serious but if you ignored it, it may cause you disabling pain and it will affect your work and psychology.
Next Steps
You should stretch daily and change your postural habits try yoga as well.
