Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes you should definitely concern for your symptoms.
Your all symptoms are due to compressed disc in cervical spine.
You should immediately consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination and MRI of cervical spine. This will tell you about severity of the compression.
In mild cases cervical collar and physiotherapy are adequate.
But in moderate to severe cases, surgical repair is needed.
So consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
