Hi,
from history it seems that you might be having some degenerative changes in your cervical vertebrae giving pressure or irritation on nerves giving rise to this problem.
Go for x-ray cervical spines.
At this age there might be having osteoporosis as well.
Take calcium,vitamin A and D supplements.
Go for physiotherapy,short way diathermy.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
