Inflammation/Pain in my neck

Several yrs ago, I was asleep in my recliner (Semi-Fowlers) my husband came in and screamed my name to wake me, then told me my "vein" in my neck was going mad and jumping through my skin.  Every since then, I have had swelling and pain in my neck along the right side, from my haw to my clavicle, once it gets to my clavicle, there is a pain that feels like a needle pressing through.  Also, I have freguent dizzy spells, and one day (that I know of) blacked out while driving down the road, my scalp got real tight and was tingling as I "came around". And I occasionally have little black floaters in my eye sight. (when I am dizzy) I also occasionally experience palpatations. My B/P normally runs about 90/58 and lately has been running around 85/50 and the floors feels like it moves from under me.  Any ideas?

No, I have had nothing done to find a cause as I have no insurance and most physicians wont even see you with no insurance.

It could be a whole host of things. As it has been with you for years, it shouldn't be hard to discover the cause. I assume you have had the usual blood tests and x-ray, including of the vertebrae in your upper spine/neck. A swollen disc can cause all sorts of pains and symptoms. Have they done a doppler examination of your Carotid arteries in your neck?
