Internal spinning: Cervical instability and Vertigo. Strange Sensations series with Ross Hauser, MD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2021
- In this segment of "Strange Sensations" related to the neck, Ross Hauser, MD discusses vertigo and the continuum of symptoms that include tinnitus and lightheadedness, among others. While sometimes the symptoms can have a straightforward cause and simple fix, other times there is a structural component in the neck which needs to be addressed in order for the patient to have hope of resolving the disabling effects of vertigo.
The device he uses about midway through the video is called a Eustachi.

This chap is so clever and deserves international recognition. In reality people like him would be the last you see when in fact he should be the first. But your GP will refer you to ENT surgeon who will get you an MRI scan of the head.The scan would quite often show normal. That will be the end of it, there is no cure for tinnitus they will tell you as in my case. I have lost the curvature of my cervical spine, which I am convinced is the cause of tinnitus in left ear, and feeling of ear fullness along with the head and face muscle feeling out of alignment and popping. I am going to request a neck X-ray/scan next and push for an investigation pathway like this MD to try and get this problem sorted. Thank you for your educational movies Dr Ross Hauser👍🏽
I went to Dr Hauser twice about 18 years ago. Post car accidents, I had my autoimmune system attacking every thing and I had horrible joint instability. He saved my 'life' in that I was totally non functional, in so much pain everywhere, dreadful brain fog, to name just a few symptoms and had 4 little children. I am sure I would not be walking today or have had any quality of life if I had not been treated by Dr Hauser.
I was in a car accident nine years ago, which is when my IIH started. All my doctors said it was my weight and kept giving me steroid shots. I had eight in my spine, 11 spinal taps, and no help when it came to my ear. This amazing doctor is spot on on every one of my symptoms. I have pain in my ear and I constantly have ringing and water like feeling in my ear. My C4-C5 is off center. I have helped so many patients and I became a patient. I’m tired of doctors telling me that it’s all to my weight. I’m only a little bit overweight. I had an “aha” moment when watching Ross talk about the causes of IIH. I also suffer from vertigo. I feel better when I lay down. As a professional, it is very difficult to lay down the whole day. I’m going to FL to see this guy!
I can't believe that I found this information! I have have so many symptoms of instability in my neck but I had no idea it was the cause of all my discomfort until I saw this. I finally have an idea of what I can do to try to resolve it. Tiniinitus, POTs symptoms, nausea internal spinning and a very niosy neck, I haven't been able to rotate my head to left for years and I have had severe migranes in the past due to my neck posture. Thank you so much this is really helpful.
you have exactly diagnosed my problem which no doctor around me had.
My chiropractor told me this after a car accident. Doctor told me hysteria 😀
Same here, so now, how do I fix it?
@@lesserpoo prolotherapy
@@oo0RECON0oo I’ll look into it. Thank you so so much!!!
Good luck getting them to listen to you
This is me for the last 2 years. Explained everything I have experienced. I'm not crazy anymore
Your not crazy I'm with you the is plenty of us
Me too I can’t make my husband understand what I going though
What he describes is what I have for the past 5years I also have milk allergies I take a claritin ready tab when I need it it last 24 hours and no drowsiness this is going to effect millions why those iPhones it causes pressure on our necks .
We need doctors like this in NZ his videos explain everything so precise and detailed. I so thankful to have found them ❤️
Ditto and my MRI shows cervical instability yet doc says no correlation so cant refer!
I feel a strange sense of relief when you explain these SX so well. I've seen So Many Dr's & tried to explain all these weird things I feel & hear but no-one seems to be able to tell me what's going on. Sometimes I feel like I must be a hypochondriac or just plain crazy!
This man is pure genius!
For me it's opposite, I move around in my sleep and start to feel faint. It's very scary!
Me too. I lay the wrong way and I wake up dizzy or heart pounding. Sleeping upright seems to help. It used to be that sleeping on my side or stomach was just the problem, but now I can't lay flat for too long.
I do love how kind and dedicated you are , too not just your profession but to the people ✨
Thank you for the kind feedback, Michelle. Wishing you all the best in health!
Bless you Dr. Hauser. I had an intense episode of vertigo which led to an ER visit, CT scan and MRI, but no physical exam or diagnosis. I felt no one believed my symptoms and afterward learned about "positional" vertigo on my own. Because of your video, I am more aware, but need a physician who is also.
Your prob having anxiety get onna antidepressant plese feel better
@@jackmeovf4010 so it can be caused by anxiety? And depression? All I ever read was ear infection. This is my 1st time to this channel. Well I’m doomed then.
@@jackmeovf4010 HUh?
I have EDS and just found your channel, helpful in so many ways. But the best thing? The way you smiled when you said your wife's name.
Hi Floaty Tef, Thank you for the kind feedback! Glad to be of help in any way. Anyone who meets Marion, can't help but smile. She's truly an incredible person. :) Wishing you all the best in health!
This video is satire.
Wow, another great doctor with outstanding communication and teaching skills on RUclips! Thank you Dr. Ross Houser!
2. Another cause of "world spinning" is "Blood Thinner" and mis-diagnosed Brain Cancer (mainly brought on from wireless technology radiation.
3. We are not cans of paint (we add thinner to paint), not our blood.
4. Eat foods like Garlic, beets, leafy greens. etc., That naturally scrub arteries clean and creates healthy blood. Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Gus , also on RUclips explain scrubbing arteries naturally.
Wow! I had that spinning and many Dr's ran me through their specialties but found nothing wrong. It eventually went away. I do have cervical stenosis + spondylosis + severe S-curve scoliosis all the rest of the way down. No one said it could be from the horrible instability in my neck.
Same here. I hope you're doing better now.
I could listen to your teachings all day long. 🥰
This is the best video on RUclips. I am feeling so relieved to hear his analysis. Tomorrow i have my appointment with vestibular expert and i going to speak to him about this. I have been struggling with sleeping vertigo and now it make sense why. Thank you.
I had these symptoms for years went to many doctors - had ears checked too - before being diagnosed by cat scan for a compressed cervical spinal cord / yes had surgery - a plate in my neck 10 years ago Best decision I made .. no symptoms after that .
It feels like I'm spinning when laying still in my bed to the degree that I hold onto the bed so not to fall off. Different doctors have blown me off like I'm crazy. No injuries, no pain, just lying in bed trying to go to sleep. I do have SLE but, this doesn't seem connected to it.
Find a Nucca chiropractor....very very gentle adjustment. Your head weighs 8 lbs and may be cocked to one or the other side. They go to school ( apprenticeship) 3 extra years.
Its happened to me to. Your not crazy. Its really happening. I'm not a doctor but I put a little peroxide in my ears( about a cap full) and let it set a minute then tilt head to drain it back out.
Same here!!! I think I'll bring a collar with me. I have a lot of clicking grinding popping in my neck but my dad said it was normal aging
@@dollymadeson2151 that sounds absolutely horrific but I’ve heard of it before someone I know suffers same as you they told her it was vertigo
It’s vertigo.
I love all the information you share! After having gone through quite a healing journey myself, I now service a community that has a ton of these types of issues. ALL of your videos are a gold mine for them. What I don't hear mentioned is what initially causes all of this instability, connective tissue and vagus nerve problems. I found it's typically heavy inflammation, disruption of the cellular matrix and lack of various important nutrients that help with structural integrity. Most have had mold exposure or Lyme initiating all of this chaos and end up with the trifecta of MCAS, POTS and EDS. It's a tough road back for them but all that you offer in these videos is so amazing and a great guide. I only wish there were therapists all over that think like you do as so many are in need of this kind of help and therapists like you are very rare!
What nutrients?
It’s alll connected to the vagus nerve degeneration which I believe he said in those vids is from stress . The vagus nerve controls the amount of inflammation in the body which I had no idea . He speaks of Mold etc as well in his videos all being linked to cervical instability etc etc
My cervical instability isn't continuous, but I can get similar symptoms.
The standard barrage of static tests (e.g. CT scan) won't show anything, so for legal protection, they would send people to a psychiatrist or suspect substance addiction. Thankfully, cervical instability is being recognized today.
My wife had cervical instability and we got rid of it completely with 4 treatments of Prolo Therapy
@@Maxim.Teleguz Where are you located. I suffer with cervical instabilites . I' m in NY, Westchester county. This doctor is sooooo spot on. But hes in Florida. Let me know thx. PS, my pain management dr has heard of it, but says doesnt think its for me.. cant hurt to try bc no surgery can help me.
@@Chiroman527 we are located in Pennsylvania and doctor was in Allentown.
@@Chiroman527 nobody agreed with my wife and she had to take the first step and we are both glad she did.
@@Maxim.Teleguz ,,, what is Prolo Thearapy?
This is so easy to follow & understand; thank you. Reminds us how wonderfully our bodies are made.
This therapy sounds so wonderful. But living in the Phoenix Az area, the doctors practicing Prolotherapy are Naturopaths which means my Medicare Advantage isn't going to pay for this and I can't afford it being on Social Security. Anything that's good for you long-term, they'll never pay for. They prefer to put a bandaid on it. Not fair for so many of us.
Try to find a Nucca chiropractor. They Only do gentle adjustment to get C1 into place. They apprentice 3 extra years and are not expensive.
That's because the idea is to "manage the symptoms" not to "cure the dis-ease"...the money isn't in the cure, it's in management. Money is what it's all about, not your health and well being.
Pain center of az Not covered by insurance in any state MD s do it
Try a cervical collar! I’m going to make one for myself.
Anyone know of any places that do these kinds of testing in AZ?
So very many thanks Dr, this all certainly makes sense with the roof of my mouth, it itches terribly. I also have severe degeneration of the cervical bones after falling down the stairs during a seizure and cracking my head on to the wall! Ever since I’ve had this awful itching which I just don’t know how to relieve. At the present during COVID times it’s such a problem trying to see a Dr. However, my neurologist is seeing me soon about the epilepsy so I’ll certainly ask him. Very many thanks indeed for all your invaluable help.
Nobody..absolutely Nobody on the internet describes or discusses my symptoms like Dr. HAUSER It is amazing how ignorant 99% of medical professionals seem to be on such a critical health issue.
I'm a patient of dr. Hauser he's been doing neck injections having vertigo and internal spinning and all the symptoms he speaks about in this video he's a wonderful person very kind and compassionate the clinic is wonderful the people are wonderful very professional and they know what they're doing.

@@Elizabetha2514 ,,, thanks!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy i wish there was such help in Scandinavian. Im in Norway. Please if you know or have a colleague that are working in Norway or close by- I would be thankful and grateful to know.
This is what happens to me now and then...I think it is a result of head injuries and a severe cervical separation with cracking if C1, C2 and C3 from a car accident when young....no doctor since ever took me seriously - the injury was in another country, so no records are available. I made a close to normal life but move slowly, need to sit often, and go numb if too much exercise or long walks. I learnt how to care for myself ...no doctor would do it 👍💖
How are you right now ??
I just experienced this recently, it took me the entire day to get my balance back which lasted through out the evening. Thank you 🙏
Stop drinking stop all drugs increase your water intake increase sleep to at least 9 hours a night use a foam cervical pillow in bed take care
This was very informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr! Now I know what my prob is. I know what vertigo means but not in such depth & clarity! My problems started after a horse riding accident when I was 14 & went for therapy but it didn't help much. My symptoms have progressively worsend over the years & suffer from all the symptoms you've described
Thank you for sharing this information. Now I understand my issues. This is very helpful
wow doctor you gave us great information for these symptoms, thank you very much, you are a blessing for all of us, thanks again!
Dr Hauser your explanation of symptoms and cures seems like your diagnosing symptoms I’ve had for 15 years. Thanks, Mule
Hi Doctor. I had a SUV vs semi truck head on collision accident in 2005 and these symptoms I experience? this difficulty focusing my brain for an hour or two
every morning? have persisted for over the 15 years.The first 7 8 years the disorientation was accompanied by
horrible nausea. A few doctors of the many I’ve seen blame it on pain medication. Other of the many doctors don’t address this weakness dizziness and difficulty focusing my brain experiences every morning. That’s why when I seen your videos I thought there might be help for me.
Thanks Doc.
This is so accurate for my recent condition.
I think you are a gift from God . ♥️
I have been around seniors last 20 years....so many have said they feel dizzy or fuzzy brain. I have watched them fall. All the tests and Dr.s and they never get resolution. I have had vertigo a couple of times...it hasn't been that bad but I definetly have an inner ear thing. Thanks Dr...great help
It could also be Dysautonomia, POTs from low blood pressure drops. Often caused by blood pressure medication that is too high. If you are dizzy and have a racing heart you need a standing tilt table test.
always helpful information from dr. hauser.
So nice of you, Gino. Thanks for the kind words! Take care.
This dizziness, tinnitus symptoms I have had this all my life
Thankyou for your information
I have vertigo for years..off and on my kids do too and it runs in family.
I never heard of this..
This is such a huge blessing to me.
Euchastachian disfunction
Opening & closing of ears
My daughters are always full.
I don't fill fullness..it just happens whenever.
The whole room spinning..it's horrible..
Ive dealt with since child.
I struggle with so much of this post vertebral artery dissection and stroke. I have always speculated a positionally related issue (cervical instability maybe?). I’m very happy to have found your videos
Likely from upper cervical instabilty. Looseness in the atlas or atlas instability can stretch the vertebral artery. Prolotherapy to strengthen the upper cervical ligaments probably will help a lot!
I have been watching you videos and it covers most if not all of my ongoing symptoms.
I've identified 3 symptoms that relate to me. I did have whip-lash from the 1980s that affected me for a couple of years. A hip op. 6 yrs ago under gen anesthetic and now feel rather unstable on my feet or 'out of it' that I've stopped driving and even fear going out on my push bike.🤨This has been encouraging, thank you Dr Ross Hauser👏
Thank you!!!
Wow this is so helpful!
Thank you for this video.it explains alot .
Thankyou so much for all the information.
Great video, thank you. From another doctor; NAC is a great mucolytic, Zyflamend and Liquid MSM are a great natural anti-inflammatories. Cervicogenic dizziness/vertigo is rare, if its positional its usually BPPV. On a statin, Ubiquinol is imperative.
Incredible 💎 awesome explanation 🏆🎧🙏 thanks
Very informative.
Having a TBI and dealing with vestibular issues; was given Cawthorne Cooksey exercises to do to help with ongoing vestibular issues.
Very educational.
Thank you 😊
Very imformative😯 thanks doc🙏
Thank you sir
Extreme spinning feels like mild encephalitis. The way I felt, personally.. Dizziness is level 1. internal spinning is like a 2. (that's when normally any song or recent memory stuck in my head is repeating and it hurts.) Then If your eyes cant track the world, like you can't read a paragraph in a normal order to save your life.. your eyes jerking.. that is a 3. If you can't stand up and your eyes are tracking badly, or you can't think clearly AT ALL.. can't think, that's a 4. PS - I use several similar techniques to make sure my ears, whatever isn't involved. Often, I pinch my nose and push a touch of air out and slightly back in again... to make sure the ear canal is balanced, good sinus flow. a massage, blah blah. in my case the base / lumbar hole (bifida occulta) causes a crooked shoulder, which causes c5/c6 to lock. That causes c1/c2/c3 to lock in rotation. That causes me to go insane and want death! lol. But if I keep it in check, life is ok.
I have that internal spinning. But also double vision. I am convinced my cervical instability is causing ischemia to my brain. Since it gets worse when i take blood thinners and calcium channel blockers.
What exactly is Double Vision
@@ramamurthybelur4554 Its called DIPLOPIA. It can have numerous cause. Brainstem tumor. Facet and disc degeneration. Stenosis. Ischemia. Mine is vascular related. So its ischemic.
Same here! It feels like blood flow is being blocked to my brain and i keep telling doctors this but this symptom is ignored. They believe i have a pinched c7 c5 nerve but same thing …barrage of tests etc. Ugh
Thank you
Very insightful! Thank you. I am a person who has dizzy tendencies. Never really understood why.
So glad to hear it helped in any way. Wish you all the best in getting to the bottom of it. Take care, Brenda.
I wonder if PEMF therapy would work to strengthen the ligaments? 🤔. Thanks for the upload. 🌻
I have had these symptoms for 6years now, due to a neck whiplash injury plus my cervical curve is misaligned i am a builder where most of the time I am looking down living with All these symptoms is a pain I have a appointment with a upper cervical chiropractic today thanks for all your videos
How are you doing now
This explains why I feel the way I do
I had this twice. It started when I simply looked down. The room would spin and I'd get sick. It's called benign positional vertigo. No doctor could help me. The exercises took them away and haven't come back, thank god. The Brandt-Daroff exercises worked the best.
Which exercise can you explain plz
Omg thank you for this
thanks for watching!
I’m in the middle of this madness right now!!!!
After many years you learn what to do for your episodes.
I make sure I take something to digest the food in my stomache
Indigestion takes place with vertigo
Thank you so much for that tip.
Very interesting
I have a "swooshing sound" in my ears and a lot of pressure like pounding in the ears and at the top of my head and face. Also when I am laying down and turn on my side I get really dizzy.
Your so personable 😊🙏🏼and make people feel comfortable thank you
Hi Exploding Dynamite55, Thank you so much for taking a moment to leave such a kind comment. Wish you all the best in health!
Hi. What was that little device you used in your nose?
Yessss. Explains so much. May Thurner Syndrome. Maybe PCS. Would make sense.
I was trying to explain to a friend that the headache I experienced with covid was more of brain-ache when she interrupt me and said: "Just minute, don't you have to have a brain before having a brain-ache?" 🤣😂🤣
I suffer from tinnitus all the time, vertigo every now and then, but most of all I have double vision and I am about to have strabismus surgery soon. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Flora
I wonder if this is part of why spinning in my desk chair actually makes my dizziness stop and improves my proprioception for a while? My body’s signals about how it’s moving and where it is in space when I’m trying to sit still are all scrambled, but if I spin enough I feel it in my whole body it drowns that out. I don’t know, might just be me, but I’ve found it to be a really helpful if counterintuitive trick for recalibrating myself when I’m feeling super off balance. The relief doesn’t last for long though. And it would work better in a room with more space and a chair secured to the floor so I’m not tensing against the spinning for fear of falling and hurting myself.
But it usually relieves this stuff for a few minutes and is one of my go-to’s when all these symptoms are getting bad and disorienting enough that I’m starting to panic.
Still, high risk low reward in your standard desk chair on wheels
How does nystagmus being present factor in? Is that definite BPPV?
I’ve had numerous falls and whiplash, reconstructed left shoulder and digestive problems my whole life. I also got dentures 2 years ago and have TMJ. I have a straight neck and didn’t realize what I had done until I got off all pain medication so now I’m unable to work because of Tinnitus, chest tightness, back left shoulder blade pain, horrible neck tightness and circulation problem with joint pain. I’m hoping I can find something because it’s been 5 months and only got worse.
Dr hauser, I'm getting an full spinal mri scan next week, is there any way you would be able to hava a look maybe? Thanks.
I got this after using nette pot! Fluid in ear
This is so helpful. I know domeone in a wheelchair because of this ear thing...agter a bad fall. ❤
Hi doc. I had sinus surgery 25 yrs ago, which helped tremendously. I also get chiropractic treatments.
Question.
I have an occiptical bun which makes it almost impossible to sleep on my back without a curve corrector, a bottle, or rolled up towel.
If it's not tense, it is full of fluids. I trained it to go as high up my scull as possible and doesn't shift down as much.
Any other advice for dealing with this bun?
Is there an alternate solution the prolotherapy injection to strengthen the ligaments? I don’t have health insurance and I’m 95% sure I’ve weakened the ligaments, as you mentioned in the video. I’ve spent excessive amounts of time on a soft foam roller at the base of my skull because it made my neck pain feel better while using it- but now I think it’s weakened the ligaments and created excessive cellular“poop”, as you say.
I have all of the symptoms on the list. Please help!😣
Thank you for this video!
Do you know if there are anyone else like yourself treat thay in Houston Texas? Because I have known many people who suffer from that problem
I get positional vertigo that comes and goes. I use lemon balm tea and it clears up
Never heard of that! I use techniques and go to a vestibular therapist! Also epi Manuel and another one they use for BPPV vertigo! I have had it for years and then last few years it was visual vertigo!!! Horrible! Meclazine is used too for bad issue but in therapy they say don’t use anti vert!
Thank you. I'll have to try that.
Thank you
Where can I find lemon balm tea is it sold at health food stores or can I get it at a grocery store?
@@atlanticbeach4682 Meijer, Walmart, Walgreens. health food stores.
Most medium to large groceries stores.
What was that tool you used called? I couldn't make out what you said it was.
I have a lot of the CCI symptoms that I have read about, except for the Bell's Palsy symptoms (if that's what it's called). I do get strange sensations in my face though, kind of a numbness or stiffness, but no tingling. Alsp I don't ever have seizures (or at least not yet). Does everyone who has CCI always have seizures or do they come later as the disease progresses?
I suffer from benign positional vertigo and i would like your advice.Please help.
Hi Caring Medical. I'm with you Folks... Cervogenic Dizziness and vertigo. Just had another bout of Vertigo (last one was 2018). I do have regular Lightheadedness, Floaty feelings, and some balance issues when moving suddenly. But last week I dug in my yard, which Drained Me. The next morning I bent over and felt that more extreme Floaty feeling. Then I went to my Chiro (I have Lots of Spinal Issues of OA in the Spine, facet Joint syndrome, DDD, stenosis, and Dextroscoliosis), who put me on a table on my back with a Rolling massager. When i went to my car , 10 minutes later, I suffered a 20 second full blown Vertigo attack. Since then, i have been experiencing Dizziness / light sudden vertigo on and off, but especially incurred when sitting and then getting up. I do Have Chronic Sinusitis, Tinnitus, IBS for years. My right ear is most sensitive, more Fullness than the left, But that changes too. Your Info on Cervical Instabilities makes Soooo Much sense. What do you think of a Dr. Wallach's opinion that much of tgis can be caused by OA of the Skull too!! I wish I could get to you for medical treatments. I think I tracked down a Prolotherapist in CT. None in NY where I am.
Did you ever have the treatment done in CT and did it help?
Did you ever find relief?
When i get the spinning really bad..i do the half summersault excercise for vertigo..u tube has a video..u get supper dizzy when doing it but i stay with it and it finally normalizes..it works for me..and to avoid waking up w vertigo..i sleep face up..always..if i turn to the side i start feeling the dizzy spell!
I have cervical spine stenosis with lots of pain and the usual crunching noise including all the typical symptoms. My question is could this all be contributing to my blurred vision. Specialist optomotrists couldn't find anything and accused me of making it all up.
I have this! One neurologist told me to stop doing it! I could not! An ENT doctor fx me with vestibular migraines and put me on dramamine and topiramate. It helped so much. I had PT for it and it does return with or when my left ear becomes congested. I did have nystagmus and have had hearing loss in b
In both ears. It has been terrible experience and l am a RN.
Could this also be Menners?
Do you have any information on cochlear hydrops and if it can be reversed? Thank you.
I have an appointment with you doctor at the end of this month i live 1800 miles from your location is it safe to travel by plane with cervical instability symptoms such as tension on head and neck, jaw pain,vertigo,tinnitus,fatigue, foggy mind?
Dynamic Ortho neurological curve correction 👍🏾
What type of injections did he mention to strengthen cervical ligaments?
I Love dairy too! I have seen a technique on massaging your tube...from ear lobe...it felt like it helped 😁
Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
Interesting. My tinnitus began after my second removal of an anaplastic astrocytoma(had 3) and chemo/radiation therapy which damaged the miniscus in the right tm joint. The vertigo began after whiplash from auto accident & eventually stopped after moving to Hawai'i. Due to the radiation I now have osteoporosis in the cervical vertebrae but what the hey I survived and am thriving.
Cancer survivorship is on the rise and more videos need to be done on the long-term side effects of chemo & radiation...
Is there a Doctor in Houston Texas that you could recommend
Doc, have you heard of cases where one feels better lying down but they get a blocked ear feeling within 10 minutes of being in that position? Standing up relieves it but then all the other symptoms start again (dizziness, headache, etc)
Wow. Now I know what's going on. I have osteoarthritis in my neck and lower lumbar and hips as well as cervical and lower lumbar spinal stenosis. Had a lower lumbar spinal fusion on L4 L5, L5 S1 in Nov. 2011. It relieved pain in my lower back and leg until June 2019 when I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Early this year the dizziness occurred far apart several times. I had also tried a new pillow that caused a migraine. I saw my doctor who had me see a neurologist. Neither one believed my dizziness was my neck. Neurologist says I'm fine, even though she knows my neck issues and back issues. So, a month after seeing her I woke up with the room spinning and nausea. It went away on it's own, but I'm convinced it's my neck. I opened my eyes with the room spinning on me. MRI shows I have no curve left in my neck. It's wonderful to find a doctor who understands what's going on.
Hey I think I'm having similar with you it is my body is moving when I'm not an I was told to do a cervical spine ct scan the symptoms I have is when laying I feel like im moving when I'm not and I have muscles spasms and sometimes feels faint whenever standing for long
@@sashisterling6510 OH wow. Definitely get that CT Scan. I hope you get a correct diagnosis and they will know what to do. I'm now very careful with my neck. I use a particular pillow that keeps my neck in alignment while I'm sleeping and I sleep on my back mostly. The doctor here made so much sense. My first dizzy spells were when I stood in my closet and looked up just slightly at my hanging clothes. I'm female 5' 4". I reached up to get something down to get dressed and I felt like I was falling sideways. Then a few months later it was waking up still in bed spinning. Are you getting the CT scan?
@@DH-gk8vh I'm also 5'4 and I'm terrified of that machine but I'm also wondering if an x ray could be done instead and for dizziness is mostly when I'm standing I feel like I'm being dragged and when I lay I feel like I'm floating
@@sashisterling6510 I've had CT scans done before. I understand your fearful, but they're very safe. An X-ray can only show hard tissue I think like bone. It can show arthritis. CT Scan is for:
"CT scans show a slice, or cross-section, of the body. The image shows your bones, organs, and soft tissues more clearly than standard x-rays. CT scans can show a tumor's shape, size, and location. They can even show the blood vessels that feed the tumor - all without having to cut into the patient." So, x-rays are very limited. Your symptoms are such that they need to see what's going on, and it sounds like a CT Scan would be perfect. You could also ask for an MRI, but I'm thinking the CT scan would be best. O sure hope you can find out what's going on.
Try DRAMAMINE
Good day which doctor do i have to see to know if i have cervical instability i have seen more doctor like ENT and neuro but still my dizziness is not been resolve. Thanks and God bless
I have main core nerve damage, I was in a car accident and it broke the the C3 - 5 I have screws in my neck but it hurts like crazy all the time. The right side of my head hurts like a headache.
Is it possible to have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo without nystagmous?
It was a really weird start of my problems. Woke up in the night and something in my head went wrong, can’t describe it. Next day could not get out of bed, nausea and dizziness. Now a year later I am a lot better but I seem to be a different person in my head. Really worried, want to go back to the old me.
Been to osteopaths, people that deal with the problem etc but it still sticks like glue. I feel my life is ruined and I truly don’t want to live like this anymore, but what to do? Drugs don’t help
Since you say you feel like a different person, has a doctor checked to see if you had a mini stroke? Hope a solution can be found
I had vertigo couple years ago and lasted over 10h. Did all the tests scans, all came back normal. I was told it's gastritis, neurogical, vestibular migrane,meiners. I get dizzy here and there, tinnitus that started later on I also have tingling and numbness on right-side of my face, when I drive my face tangles and numbs. Any suggestions?
Thank you
At 275 pds. I used to get dizzy bending over yrs ago ,I lost 30 pounds and it disappeared. Recently the air in my home was so dry I used to rub the inside of my ear frequently and eventually would find water coming out of my ear upon rising. I kept rubbing the left ear and more water would leak out about 6 months later. Then boom I gained back weight and had terrible Vertigo when bending over with excertion. One day I noticed loud power line type noise in my ears and it's not going away. I took SERC for the Vertigo but didn't help. Vioform ear drops didn't help. But my blood pressure recently went up to 160 and I'm starting to believe there's a link with my weight management. I'm wondering if all the rubbing I did caused instability.
