Hello I am sorry you are having these issues.
I hope that you get a Brain MRI and I would consider an upper Spine MRI or Cat scan of the neck based on your pain in the neck. Also tumor markers could be done but remember sometimes these are not accurate. I would not wait for the dizziness to increase. I think that it is best to quickly address symptoms of headaches, dizziness and pain. The only way to rule out brain mets is to have the scan.

When in doubt check it out. It's better to catch mets early than later. This may be related to something else of course but why risk it.

Hugs to you
