Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to radicular nerve pain or a nerve compression. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam, a cervical spine x-ray study and a nerve conduction study. A cervical spine CT scan or MRI may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
