Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, it seems to be due to a pinched nerve at the base of skull. This is not serious and would resolve on own in a few days. Physiotherapy (with neck extension exercises) would be helpful.
