Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizzy spells,stiff neck and headache. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like giant Cell , arteritis , cluster headaches , migraine , trigeminal neuralgia or cervical spondylosis . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on pain site and neck , do mind relaxing exercises and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult neurologist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order CT scan MRI and take history to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , vasograine along with recommend stretching exercises of facial muscles . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for cervical problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
