Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to inflammation or cervical spine chronic degeneration.
Coming to this poitn, I would recommend consulting with your attending doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a cervical spine X ray study
- complete blood count
- PCR, Sedimentation rate for inflammation.
I would also recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Aida
