Brief Answer:
VBI (Vertebro-Basilar Insufficiency) must be ruled out first.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. From your symptoms, a Vertebro-Basilar insufficiency (VBI) should be ruled out first.

2. A Neck Doppler study or an MRA (Angiogram) with Cervical Spine Imaging will help. A general examination would also be advisable.

3. You should get a direct examination done as soon as possible.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
