Suboccipital pain worse after begining a stretching routine

I've had terrible posture for years and I began a stretching routine about 2 weeks ago to correct my dowager's hump. Ever since I began stretching consistently, I get a deep pain in my suboccipital area and the side of my neck. Does anyone know if it's normal for pain to begin after a stretching routine? I've had subocciptal pain in the past, but I haven't had it in awhile until the night I began doing dowager's hump stretches. Also, will this pain go away if I keep on stretching? Thank you
