 Hello -
It seems very likely, both due to the symptom described and the sort of work you do on a regular basis, that this is likely a nerve-related problem caused by faulty ergonomics or posture (more likely the latter). The heat may be a manifestation of nerve pain and could be due to pressure on the nerve outlet at C7-T-1, or could even be due to bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). Seeing a neurologist would probably be your best bet, although an orthopedist may also be able to determine if you show any physical signs of TOS. If so, often physical therapy or a home exercise program can often relieve the symptoms. I think this is by far the most likely cause of the sensations given the information provided.
Good luck and my best to you.
