There : There are many causes of neck and headache including problems in the neck and head. I would recommend initially seeing your primary care doctor. The initial treatment is usually physical therapy including neck stretches, ultrasound and traction. Patients who do not respond to physical therapy should see a pain specialist for consideration for pain injections and other interventional pain procedures. Good luck!

See a neurologist: These symptoms may represent a headache or other neurological condition. You should keep a log of the location, timing, duration, and intensity of these episodes and take the log with you to a neurologist. https://www.aan.com/Guidelines/Home/ByTopic?topicId=16
