Brief Answer:
It could be due to cervical spondylosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having cervical spondylosis and your symptoms can be due to it.
You should go for an MRI of head and neck region along with a clinical examination.
Other cause can be Migraine headache but they are usually single sided.
You can take painkiller like Ibuprofen twice daily after meals along with an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
