Cervical Stenosis: Narrowing of the spine can cause extremity weakness, numbness or tingling feelings. Sometimes bowel/bladder can be impacted there can be headache as well. I don't know if this is a cause for dizziness but i see you have vertigo listed as one of your diagnoses. I will refer this to one of the neurologists to see if we can more insight about the dizziness.

The degenerative : Changes that can be a cause of the spinal stenosis can lead to headaches originating in the back of the head or occipital region but would be unlikely a cause of dizziness unless those same degenerative chamges lead to a narrowing of the bony canals of the vertebral arteries that pass up through the cervical spine.
