Hello,
Please see that if you had the past history of neck pain or stiffness then you should go for chest x-ray PA view and lateral view.
But, if you are having high Blood Pressure or are diabetic, then and these are uncontrolled and symptoms are persisting or increasing, then I will suggest CT scan brain to rule out Stroke or mini stroke called TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
