Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com

I am Dr.Bruno Mascarenhas. I have read your question with care and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

You have mentioned the following complaints
1. Severe Dizziness
2. Neck Pain along the back or side up to his head
3. Said Light on the electric blanket indicator was rising

Neck Pain can be a manifestation of Cervical Spondylosis or some other problem of Neck
Dizziness and the next complaint may signify reduced blood flow to brain which can occur in Cervical Spondylosis
Left unattended, this can even lead to stroke later

Hence I would suggest that you consult a Neurosurgeon at the earliest

Hope you found the answer helpful.
