Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

It will be more helpful if you give information about
-your job profile(working on computers for long duration or lifting of heavy weights, etc).
-any associated pain in the neck region?

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having cervical nerve compression due to cervical spondylosis.

I would advise that you should get a MRI of neck done to know the cause of your symptoms.

You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with muscle relaxant like chloroxazone and an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg.

Clinical examination by an Orthopedician will be helpful.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
