Welcome to heathcare magic. It looks like your nerve roots are getting irritated and thus causing these symptoms. Get your MRI done for cervical as well as lumbar vertebra. Cervical spondylosis might cause symptoms of giddiness. Best thing will be to consult orthopedic surgeon and physiotherapist. Exercise, right posture will be helpful to keep this in control. If you are vegetarian , get your Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels done to rule out deficiency.
