The two possibilities to explain your symptoms are
a. cervical spondylosis- can be confirmed by an mri of the cervical spine
b. trigeminal neuralgia.
I will suggest meeting a neurologist cause the symptoms can be differentiated on the basis of examination.
An Mri can be scheduled accordingly
And of course the treatment may vary significantly
Best of luck
