hi
looks like you have carotid left sided block( carotid stenosis)
this dizziness can be due to this problem
please avoid fast & sudden neck movements, it will hamper the blood circulation to the brain causing more dizziness
now with your heart rate it can be either palpitations, or increased rate due to anxiety
please check out with your cholesterol, sugar, urea & creatinine, electrolytes, thyroid levels
ecg, echocardiography, x-ray / mri c-spine,
please consult your cardiologist & neurologist to get the problems solved
all the best, take care
