Answered by Dr. Shinas Hussain (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
We have to rule out conditions like cervical spondylitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is unlikely be due to stress.
Most probable cause will be spine related conditions like cervical spondylitis or disc prolapse.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedic and plan for an MRI scan.
Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
