Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Your symptoms no doubt warrants review by a doctor, who may physically examine you, record your blood pressure, and might also subject to some investigations including routine blood tests, blood profiles, and a CT scan of brain to rule out any pathology there. You might have to consult a Neurologist if need be. Also, your cervical spine X ray might help you to rule out a cervical spondylitis where similar symptoms may occur. If I were your doctor, I would also get you examined by an ENT specialist to rule out any pathology in the ears. Till then, you should avoid driving, and all such activities which need precision.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
