Hello again.
Thanks for providing the answers.
Based on your history, there are two possibilities. One is nerve root compression which is more common. Another is compromised blood supply.
It should resolve over the time. If it is not resolving in next 24 hours or worsening, it needs clinical evaluation and investigations like MRI cervical spine or Doppler if clinical examination demands.
Till then take rest. Avoid driving. Visit your symptoms are not reducing.
I hope this information helps you. I will be available for follow up queries if any.
Wish you speedy recovery.
