Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You ought to see a neurologist - MRI & MRA may be necessary to evaluate ischemic insult to the brain.
Your heart seems alright / a picture of panic and hypertension may point the need to investigate Hormones - adrenal and thyroid..
Neck glands must be biopsied for proper diagnosis. It may be a primary pathology there or secondary from any other source - only biopsy can confirm.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
