cant imagine why it would be related to a stomach ulcer....
I get neck aches occasionally though - generally they come about because of my head being in a bad position for a while. It might even be a very comfortable position but because its not a good angle it hurts later.
Ways to cure this are:
1)Sitting in chairs that do not have tall backs so that your head will naturally be supporting itself rather than leaning.

2)Getting a very good pillow eg one that is not too firm or too soft, and it needs to make your head have the correct angle in relation to the rest of your body. For me, i tend to not use pillows because of this and simply use a blanket between my head and either my arm or my hand to get the proper angle.

3) sometimes its a bone or nerve that is misaligned and so twisting your head with your hands to the left & right, and then pulling it towards your right or left shoulders can unkink it - note that it is usually painful to do this but the relief from after is worth it.
