hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for the query.
according to your description the possibilities are,
-cervical spondylosis: it is a disorder that affects the joints of cervical spine because of chronic wear,
it can presents with symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, giddiness, head ache, loss of balance etc,
this can be usually seen in old age and precipitated by overweight.
-as side effects of drugs using,
-fluctuations in blood sugar levels etc
so you better consult neurologist to rule out cervical spondylosis first which is common at her age group.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
