Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This may also be due to high blood pressure. But I will recommend that you should also be assessed by a chest X-ray and ECG. Keep your blood pressure under control. Also get cervical spine xray ap and lateral view to rule out cervical strain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
