It is not related to drugs that you are taking.
You may have problem in cervical spine.
It may be due to cervical disc prolapse or spondylotic changes.
You need X-ray cervical spine in AP/Lateral view.MRI cervical spine can be done if needed.
You also need routine blood examination and serum calcium and vitamin D level.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigation reports.
Get well soon.
