Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

This does not sound like heart problem at all…
It could be stress, as you say…but it is wiser to investigate Cerebro vascular Insufficiency – the same pathology affecting the heart could also affect the brain and its circulation.
Cervical spondylosis too needs attention
See an Internist / get yourself examined / at times, basic investigation may be necessary...

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
