Brief Answer:
Multiple causes

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a few possible causes.
1. a cardiac condition itself.
Considering the history of cardiac disease, in your case , it should be ruled out first.
Only then should we move to other possible causes.
So I suggest you meet up with your cardiologist as soon as possible.
2. Cervical spondylitis is another possible cause.
You will need to do a MRI CERVICAL SPINE.
Let me know the reports.

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
