Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Need to rule out spondylosis of cervical spine along with cardiac problem or possible aneurysm of aorta.
2. Will require cervical spine and chest x-ray.
3. ECG and then based on ECG findings, an MRI might be necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
