Eye Sight Loss, Cannot Hold Neck Up, Off Balance. History Of Headaches, Hard To Sleep. Why ?

My symptoms are: I am losing my eye sight and went to the eye doctor and he stated that my eye sight in the front of my eye is still the same and I shouldn't be having problems. I cant hold my neck up and if I look down I cant control my head and it just drops. I have lost power in both of my arms and I stay off balance. I cant hold my head up to sit for long periods of time. I have a history of headaches. I have never had an injury to my neck. Its hard for my to sleep.

Hi, thanks for posting. According to me, your problem is related to the neck. You have developed a condition called spondyloarthritis cervicalis which consists of a damage of the neck. This has come as a result of your lifestyle, your posture and sedentary life. Your symptoms are related to a reduction of the blood circulation in base of the brain. This blood comes from the arteries that originate from the neck.
I recommend x-ray imaging to find out if your neck has this problem. After that I recommend physiotherapy, and lastly it is important that you consult your neurologist. Keep safe!
