hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neurological assessment is advised. Along with MRI of brain.
as you are having tingling sensation in the ears it could be related to the vestibular system and for this an MRI of the brain is advised. Also the heaviness in the base of the skull is due to tension headache, which can be due to stress or may be muscle tension. For which a thorough neurological assessment is advised.
Also undergoing physical therapy for neck region and vestibular rehabilitation should help you avoid such symptoms which you are facing now.
In my clinical practice most patients responds well to physical therapy and vestibular rehabilitation.
