I am taking bp tablets daily and it is within control.

Hi please thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am dr akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. Please you are complaining of some stiffness in neck region with vertigo associated with gait disturbances, we have to rule out a pressure at the level of cervical spine, for which I will suggest you to get please 1) mri cervical spine 2) few blood tests like vitamin d levels, serum ammonia levels, serum electrolytes etc please please get back to me immediately once these tests are done. It will also be important to get a thorough neurological examination (motor & sensory ) done so that further course of action can be decided. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Please Thanks & regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena
