Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I read carefully your question and would explain that a severe spinal canal stenosis can lead to your troubles.
You should know that the chronic degenerations of the cervical spine can lead to compression of the vertebral arteries during neck movements, thus leading to vertigo and dizziness.
Coming to this point, I would recommend consulting with a spinal surgeon to discuss about surgery for the decompression of the spinal canal.
Meanwhile, I recommend holding a cervical collar.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
