Hi,
At this age there are few possibilities giving rise to this problem.
1, Cerebro-vascular insufficiency,
2, Postural hypotension,
3, Cervical spondilitis,
4, Some problem in ear like Otosclerosis.
As you get pain at back of neck is again sign of cervical spondilitis.
Vertigo, you feel also common in C. spondilitis.
Go for S.cholesterol, Lipid profile.
CT scan also will give some important clue about your problem.
Consult Neuro-physician and discuss about this.
Ok and take care.
