Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tightness in skull base, dizziness and vertigo. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis, cervical radiculopathy or migraine. I would suggest you to consult neurologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe beta blockers, or diuretics along with Chat Doctor.  Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for cervical problem. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon.
