Hello,
The most likely condition to consider is pinched nerve from diseases of the cervical spine such as spondylosis, spondylolysthesis, herniated disc disease. Getting evaluated neurologically and by imaging studies such as x-rays and MRI of the cervical spine is necessary in such cases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
