What Causes Persistent Pain In Neck And Shoulder Along With Dizziness?

I ve been experiencing neck and shoulder pain for the last 6 months, for the last 3 to 4 months I ve been having light headed and dizzy episodes and severe hair loss for the past year. Each of these symptoms have gradually become more intense. I am a 41yr old female with family history of diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer. My main concern is the dizziness because they are happening more often and for longer period of time.

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have persistent pain in neck and shoulders along with dizziness . Well the symptoms you mention in query are clearly pointing towards a condition known as cervical spondolysis . But there can be othere reasons also for dizziness like low blood sugar or iron level , some medicines , inner ear ifection , migraine or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order muscle relaxant , anti emetic drug , recommend stretching exercises along with physical therapy of neck and shoulder . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist if he/she finds dizziness to be related with ear . For hair fall consult dermatologist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
