hi,
I don't think it will be a stroke. it could be a nerve getting trapping in its course . try relaxing the neck muscles by using hot water fermentation and then by performing some simple neck exercises and doing some tripes and deltoid strengthening will help ease the issues. don't get into stroke and all as it is not the case with you.
