Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
All of your symptoms are caused by an unstable blood pressure. Another possibility is neck arthritis.
To find the real cause you should measure your blood pressure for 2 weeks.
After that you will need a neck X-ray, complete blood count, fibrinogen test and an urine test.
The results of the above tests will help your doctor to determine the needed treatment.
All the best.
