Brief Answer:
Need some more information
Detailed Answer:
Hi madam.Thanks for your query.
Deeply regret for the delay in response.
As per your description your neck symptoms are provisionally due to cervical spondylosis(compression of nerve arising from your neck) and ear symptoms could be due to vestibular insufficiency.
However, I would like to know some more information to help you better-
Does your neck pain while you nod your head - doing yes-yes movement or no-no movement?
Do you have any heaviness of chest, difficulty in breathing, nausea?
Have you ever consulted your physician about your problem in the past?If yes what was the treatment taken and outcome?
Are you diabetic, hypertensive or having any history of medical illness?
Are you on any medications currently?
Await your reply!

Small pain upon moving my head up and down in neck area. Ear pain a little; very slight chest discomfort
Brief Answer:
Labs,evaluation and examination needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.Thanks for the quick revert.
I were to provisionally make a diagnosis of cervical spondylosis as discussed earlier.Additionally it is equally important to rule out vestibular insufficiency for dizziness(ultrasound carotid needed to rule out) plus ENT examination for ear pain and an screening ECG for chest discomfort to rule out underlying cardiac problem.
Kindly get in touch with your physician for examination and further evaluation.
