What Causes Dizzy And Tightness Around Neck,shoulder And Chest Area?

for months now ive felt worse and worse and its got to a stage where i dont feel like me anymore im always tired and my neck shoulders and back are always tight and aching i get chest pain too and ive been getting alot of lightheaded spells where i feel unsteady and i get a tingling or buzzing in my hands and feet... i visited my gp and he sent me for physio on my neck this didnt really help and he sent me for bloods which came back as normal other than a high c-reactive protein(i think thats what he said) but i had the bloods done at a time when i had a chest infection so he wants to retry in a week or so but in the meantime i still feel ill and wondered if you had any ideas as my doctor isnt really a talker and doesnt indicate any of his thinkings to me ...prior to this i was active and healthy about 6 months ago
