Episodes Of Sensation In Neck, Loss Of Control On Body, Unable To Stand. History Of Spondylotic Tendencies. On Medication For BP Control. Any Suggestions?

I had spondilytic tendencies long back - did exercises for the neck , applied pain killer tube on hardness in the neck . Not much of a problem since long.
Recently I started getting sensation in the head/neck and suddenly the control on the is lost, can not even stand.
Lie down for hour /2 hrs and the problem is gone,
Once I applied shalaki tube ( contains boswellia serrata extract) on the neck and massge the neck area,
I had sensation , slight loss of control, but gradually recovered,
( Earlier slight rise in BP was observed during this period- 90/130 normal range changed to 100/140,
now this does not happen as I am on telmisartan 40 and chlorthalidone 12.5 to take care of BP,
ECG , Echo are OK)

Spine Surgeon,  's  Response
Thanks for writing to us.
Cervical spondylosis with myelopathy (spinal cord compression) can cause disturbed sensations and imbalance while walking, tightness in arms and legs. How frequently do you this problem? have you done MRI spine?
Need to rule out brain cause and spine issues. I would suggest to get thorough exam from the neurologist and you may have to do MRI brain and spine to rule out serious problem. Thanks.
