Diagnosed With Degenerative Disc Disease, Herniated Disc And Bulging Disc. Need Surgery. Headaches And Dizziness. Cause?

I have been diagnosed with degerative disk disease and have 2 herniated disk around c4-5 and around c6-7 and a bulging disk also. This has been going on for about 4. Months and I have no insurance so I am trying to get the money together for the injection. However the dr says I need surgery. This morning I woke up with dizziness and have had it all day and headaches also. This is something new so I have not had time to tell the dr yet since it is the weekend. Is this normal ??

Hi there ~

I am unsure of what might be the cause of your headaches. It is not normal to have them however. I understand your concern regarding the insurance part but you could have your dizziness treated symptomatically. Drink plenty of fluids so that you are not feeling dizzy due to dehydration and if possible get some over the counter medication for dizziness if you do not have insurance. Cinnarizine helps with the dizziness. Take care and have a lovely day!
