Vertigo and Neck Pain
Dear Doctors
I have been a victim of cervical pain from last 4 to 5 years owing to the nature of job I do which requires 8 t 9 hrs of working on laptop
Couple of weeks back, I started having vertigo (without any neck pain) when I do neck movements specially at the time of lying down and sleeping and after 2 weeks of medication (vertin) I was stabilize however I am still feeling dizziness and having neck pain (upper neck area)
I am uncomfortable while lying down and feel dizzy while making movements when lying down or getting up from the bed
Is this something related to ENT as suggested by few psiotherapist
Request response and way forward
Regards
Manish Sehgal
