Lightheadedness

I always feel a lightheadedness with pain at base of my skull which sometimes goes to back of the ears. My neck remains stiff too. I got rhinitis allergy once at 2019, my nose feels congested too. It's disturbing, i feel lack of focus in studies with this. Is this ear issue or neurological or bone? Whom should I meet ENT? or orthopaedic or neuro surgeon?

Is this Just a normal headache or?

I’ve been having recurring headaches, and they’ve been getting worse this year. The pain is not limited to one side it can feel more general/around my whole head. The headaches can become quite intense and interfere with my normal activities. I’ve noticed they can happen or become worse after I’ve been outside for even 5 min. I’m concerned because this has been happening repeatedly and the overall pattern seems to be getting worse compared with before. I also sometimes experience nausea/vomiting around the same time, and I want to know whether that could be related. I’d like to be properly evaluated to find out what type of headache this is and whether I need any examination or tests.

Speech slurry and face numbness

My mother developed sudden slurred speech and numbness on one side of the face, so we took her to a nearby multispecialty hospital immediately. She was evaluated by a neurologist, who ordered an MRI brain with MR angiography (report attached) and an ECG. The neurologist said there was no major acute abnormality on the MRI, advised her to continue her current medications (Tazloc 40 and Zapiz 0.25), and recommended a cardiology review with echocardiogram, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, and HbA1c tomorrow. However, her slurred speech and facial numbness are still present. If the MRI does not show an acute stroke, what could explain these persistent symptoms? Could this still represent a TIA/small stroke not visible on imaging?she had  Bell's palsy (she had Bell's palsy 3 years ago but got cured), or another neurological condition? What additional evaluation or management would you recommend?
