neck contracture,dizzyness

Hi. I have 27 years,male,and all started 2 years ago at work suddenly,with weakness in the body and a strong pressure in occipital (back of neck) zone, neck and occipital contracture and felling like my head was pushed(pulled) down by something,like something was pressing me from the occipital zone down,and i was very scared
I was at home 2-3 month with this feeling and strong pressure in occipital zone, weakness in body and dizziness,and often feeling the occipital nerve i thik,in the left side, and often my hair in occipital zone was burning me,the same force was pushing my head forward and down,and i was panicated from these feelings...
The first doctor i was, generalist doctor i thing,and without an x-ray told me that i have arnold's neuralgia, then after a while a was to an reumathoid doctor that,after an x-ray,told me that i have cervical spondilitis and osteophytes,and gave me ketoprofen , muscle relaxants and betaserc(for dizziness).
After another months,i was feeling some how well,no dizziness, just occipital contracture, feeling like i have rock behind ears,in back of head, no more panic,and i was able to go to work and do my activities.

I don't know if i forgot something,for me this is an nightmare,because i cannot do the activities of an normal man,i only can go to work, but only that...I observe that the symptoms are ammpliffied when i am in a large number of people,stressant activities..
Before that was happening to me, i had treatment for moderate depression, and i had 2 experiences at different times with one minute strong dizziness ,like everithing was spinning around me. I would like to hear your opinion and i like to show my x-ray to you,i can that? Thank you very much!

After 7-8 months, in december 2008,all comes back,but not at the intensity of the first time: neck contracture,dizziness,feeling like next second i will faint,rocks behind ears,often vision changes,maxilar and under eyes contracure,constant pressure on ears area,but behind them,when i try to relax(stretch) the occipital area.
Some of these simptoms comes and go, but some are persistent.I was to another reumathoid doctor and told me cervical dischopathy, and gave me one week shoots with movalis, muscle relaxants,calcium,ginko biloba and betaserc,and 2 infiltrations with some antiinflamatories.
Now i feel some how better,but i still have the feeling of rocks in back of head,pressure on ears area when i try to relax my back head (like when you stretch your face,pulling up the eyebrows),dizziness,cannot rotate my head fully to the left...
In all this time i was feeling no pain,only at start when i was feeling a litlle the nerve in the backhead,and in the top of the crysys one little pain was going down from neck to shoulder,that now it is'nt,i think because i was doing exercices and from medicines.
