General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding your fainting spells I am suggesting that following differential diagnosis
Transient ischaemia attack
Meningitis
Hypoglycemia
Cerebral trauma
Cerebral hemorrhage
Cardiac syncope
In view of this please do the following test
CT SCAN
BLOOD CULTURE
SERUM ELECTROLYTES LEVEL
ECG

In regards to your pain at the upper back I will suggest from my opinion you have a cervical spondylitis please do a cervical x-ray
Meanwhile take
Tablet nurofen
Tablet cerebrex
Tablet Athrotec
Capsules multivitamin
Apply topical neurogesic cream
I hope this helps see a physician with the test result
I find this answer helpful
