Suggest Remedy For Dizzy Spells,stiff Neck And Headache
I had a dizzy spell this morning which caused me to stumble forward and I hit my head on the corner of the bathroom cabinet. It has grazed the skin rather than cutting it open and there is a small lump. Throughout the day I have continued to have short dizzy spells both while sitting and standing. I have also had a headache but not where I banged my head around the base of my skull where it meets my neck. Feeling almost like a stiff neck/tension headache. What should I do?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizzy spells,stiff neck and headache. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis , cervical radiculopathy , migraine or muscle spasm . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses take proper rest , and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with physical examination of the neck . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory , anti emetic drug or recommend physical therapy . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for ear problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
