Could Dizziness, Loss Of Balance And Neck Pain Indicate A Blocked Artery In Neck?
I have had dizziness occasionally in the past, with equilibrium off that gets worse as I get older...was told years ago it was crystals in ear, but now it happens for longer periods when I look up or bend my neck back, not just when I turn my neck in bed. Should I worry if it is really blocked artery in my neck? How would I know the difference?
