Suggest Treatment For Vertigo And Stiffness In The Neck

I woke up with a sore stiff neck & vertigo when getting out of bed about a week ago and I felt insecure walking around for a day or two. I have allergies and the pollen is quite bad this year so I thought that possibly I was getting an inner ear problem from congestion. I do not have the dizziness when getting up from sleep anymore so I tried to do some floor exercises for the 1st time since this started & when I laid down things were spinning for about 15 seconds. Also, I get a little dizzy when reaching to get dishes from an upper cabinet. I have allergies & the pollen is quite bad this year so I thought that I might be getting an inner ear infection, as I have had before, due to congestion. This has not been accompanied by a stiff neck before though. I also get motion sick very easily. I always spend a lot of time on the computer so that is nothing new.

HI welcome to HCm
I have gone thru your query regarding your sufferings from vertigo and stiffness in the neck .
I can understand your concern .
Motion sickness or kinetosis, also known as travel sickness, is a condition in which a disagreement exists between visually perceived movement and the vestibular system's sense of movement. Depending on the cause, it can also be referred to as seasickness, car sickness, simulation sickness or airsickness.
Dizziness, fatigue, and nausea are the most common symptoms of motion sickness.Neck stiffness and inflammation can occur as the result of damage to the nerves, muscles, vertebrae or discs of the neck. You might have trouble moving your neck to one side or, if nerves are damanged, you might experience tingling, numbness or weakness in your arm or hand. You can get a stiff neck from poor posture, traumatic injury, working long hours at a desk or in front of a computer, sleeping in an uncomfortable position or poor body mechanics while exercising.

It is mandatory to find out the proper cause of your problem ,If cause is removed 90% of problem is solved .

Because stress can worsen symptoms of vertigo, practice breathing exercises -
Intake of balanced diet containing all essential nutrients,fiber,vitamins ,minerals,ginger, garlic,Aloe vera juice+Amla in natural form , lot of water and yoga postures to detoxIfy and strengthening ,stretching of arms and legs and whole body & pranayam deep breathing & meditation help to acquire well balanced body and mind .

Turmeric powder a tspoon + a spoon of Almond oil with a cup of hot milk helps alley pain and is great pain killer and anti-inflammatory
Homeopathic Gelsium30 /a dose or two help relieving symptoms of pain & vertigo
Although traditional medical treatment for stiff neck can include a prescription for a pain killer or anti-inflammatory drug, consider natural remedies to help relieve your pains.
If pain persists, however, It is advised to see your doctor for further guidance .
