What Causes Dizziness And Vertigo When Suffering From Anklosing Spondylitis?
Hi I have several issues going on. First I am an anklosing spondylitis patient. I am 52 year old female. I have found that I have spurs on c1 and c2 also with narrowing of my vertebrate with nerve damage. I have found that I get dizzy at times like vertigo which I have had. I do have lots of pain in my neck. I have found that when I look down it gets worse not only the pain but so does the dizziness along with nausea.
