Brief Answer:
Could be cervical

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

This could be related to cervical or inner ear issues. You need to get an X-ray of the spine done by an orthopedic surgeon. You can also get your ears examined by ENT specialist. How is your blood pressure and fasting blood sugar levels?

Meanwhile, avoid lifting heavy weights especially on your shoulders. Also avoid sudden movements.
