Brief Answer:

Further inputs needed

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have gone through your query carefully. I would request you to upload the medical notes and investigation reports.

Also, please mention if you are diabetic and how long you have been having a raised blood pressure.

It would also help if you can upload an image of the rash. Based on that I would guide you further.

It is possible that a viral infection triggered a decompensated state.

Fluctuations in blood pressure could cause dizziness. Certain conditions like cervical spondylosis could also be associated, and the C5 replacement just seems to confirm the same.

Vertebral traction, static neck exercises and physical therapy could help.

I would await your inputs. Based on that I would guide you further.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
