Thank you for this video. I have been experiencing vertigo, swaying to one side especially for more than a month. Got an MRI which showed nothing, blood work was normal, but when I did the acupressure point release exercise, it fixed the issue at least temporarily, after a few minutes it went back to being kind of dizzy again.There would also be times in the evening I would get a racing heart for a few moments as well..Is this all related to the vagus nerve, and is now a good time to see a chiropractor? Thanks.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL....you mentioned the vagus nerve...I had researched the nerve for years because of my episodes of hyperventilatiom, tachycardia, and now I have a fib from apnea, caused by gall bladder surgery, in the 70s.
@@HMFamBlessed It was the week of my gall bladder surgery, when I began to awaken, feeling as if I was dying. I began to fear going to sleep, and ended up in the ER one time, where they kept me for four hours. I did much questioning to doctors who said it was nerves...lol...they had the nerve. We know our bodies, and we feel when something is awry. Plus...no one was treating apnea in 1972. I am going to be 79 in June. I am still learning everything I can all the time. The medical journal I read info about respiratory issues, stated..."Patients who have undergone open abdominal surgeries will likely suffer from respiratory issues." I asked my apnea NP if that was true, and her answer was "unfortunately, yes." So, I asked my former GP, if I could have a hole in my diaphragm. He said that if I did, I would be having other symptoms. I BEelieve part of my issues may be digestive, since I have no gall bladder, but it was never taken into consideration. Duh...So, I am inrterested in bile salts, but since my life has become so in volved with my husband's dementia, my needs are on the VERY back burner.
@@drmatthewposadc I called a local chiropractor yesterday, and he was clueless, or nervous about my not having a diagnosis. I told him I didn't need a diagnosis, if I was coming in for dizziness. I worked for a chiropractor years ago, and we treated symptoms, and one patient was passing out for no reason. It was a neck area that needed adjustment. Through my extensive research into the wee hours, I think I have my issue resolved. I had looked up dizziness and vertigo causes, and in one a girl was low in vitamin D. I researched that, and many symptoms were listed, but not dizziness, so I typed vit d and dizziness. Bingo! I had been skipping my 4000iu, and kept reminding myself to take it, and a mini crisis would come up. I immediately took 4000, plus an extra 2000, plus 2 K2. This morning my vertigo was so minimal. So I took another half dose this morning. I read the dosage could be 10000, but I want to do it gradually. Amazing vitamin D. I had just said to my husband when the sun was out...open the car window, so I can get some D. LOL IT was very cold outside.
Had serious anxiety since my late 20's , for a few years now also vertigo in my right ear giving me severe dizziness ( after an episode of Labyrinthitis ) that makes my anxiety even worse, beginning to think going back decades that the vertigo balance issues gave me an anxiety panic disorder , trying the Epley but it is very distressing to do , however, the condition comes and goes every few months, the anxiety condition I'm stuck with , some meds, travel sickness meds and diazepam do settle the balance problems quite a bit but probably not the answer , anxiety causes vertigo = vertigo causes anxiety , its all horrible and ruined much of my adult life with several years off work periodically
I have had similar symptoms and been to various Dr’s. I finally went to a spine specialist and he ordered an MRI . His diagnosis was mine was all muscular located in the upper cervical . I started massage therapy and the therapist suggested I wear a cervical collar when I go to bed. This has given me a new lease on life and my dizziness and pain in my back and shoulders relief.
I’m having the same exact thing happening right now and my C spine MRI showed a lot of problems with the disks and muscles. They’re starting me in physical therapy this week, but I am hoping to get some type of relief and improvement soon. This has been 10 months of an absolute nightmare.
@@jennykvoxmee too, 11 months now that I been suffering dizziness, vertigo and eyes problem.... Its a nightmare and I had panic attacks and lots of anxiety because of that... I always have neck pain and stiffness. I just change my way of sleeping and change my pillow too. Hope it will helps.
I am experiencing the same thing vertigo. I feel like I am going crazy to be honest. I was born with Spinal Bifida Occulta. I plan on going to the back doctor very soon. I did yoir tests and yep I have issues. I tried to massage than muscle and wholly molly. It lit my me up. I will have to slowly massage it. It is super tight. I spend long hours in a desk chair. Poor posture and used to sleep on my stomache wheew
Thank you so much for ending my positional vertigo! The video I saw was the one that you were wearing a light blue shirt and did the one to lay on back, turn head side to side and then roll over on face. Two minutes cured two yrs of vertigo. I only had to do it once. I had a MRI, was told to do the epley one that didn't work for me. Next they were going to put me on pills and I refused. I got vertigo from leaning my head back in a shower to wash my hair. Thanks to you, I no longer spin when I lay down or bend over, etc and I stopped walking like an old woman. I love you and I will be forever grateful.
I have headaches and dizziness for a year , I know it is normal vertigo, I had that before, but after CT scan doesn’t show anything, my doc think I am just pretending, it’s so unpleasant and uncomfortable to be in this situation, thank you doc for such details explanation, I know what to do now. Thanks
I know what you mean I have been in this for 7 year and people start saying am just feeling it I have to relax and it is nothing but it’s very hard and almost impossible to do anything
I use neck exercises and eye exercises….I’ve had vertigo for years but assumed it was from a concussion I had in the 80’s….then I found out I had a compressed disk in my neck…the eye exercises really help to stabilize it fast….
Please share the exercises or where to search. Moms been in and out of hospital for past two years from I believe vertigo - nausea vomiting. She’s 80 and frail.
I’m glad having you to share this information online I wish I had a chance to see the video in 2011 when I was sick, anyway I take notes thank you God bless you.
I did go to my chiropractor. He did c1 c2 & spine ajustment. A week ago. Still slightly dizzy. Also Vertigo from my right ear. Taking Flonase for fluid. Will see therapist for epply next week if needed.
I've been experiencing dizziness/vertigo for quite a while now. It started maybe 8 years ago, very mild, where I couldn't turn to look around me when I'm walking, or I start to lose my balance. In the last 6-8 months it has gotten serious. Every step I take jars my visual perception. If I'm standing and I close my eyes, I have to be touching something or I start to lose my balance. (When taking a shower I have to have an elbow touching the wall or I start to tip over.) Someone else commented mentioning the vagus nerve. I also have a chronic cough that ENTs and allergists can't figure out. Different things trigger it from food textures, talking a lot, yawning really wide and exertion. And other times a cough hits me without warning. I also seem to suffer from post nasal drip, but the nose sprays and allergy pills the allergist prescribed didn't do a thing. Could this all be related somehow? I tried your three tests, but they were all negative for me.
I get PVCs which are skipped heart beats related to vagus nerve and eating called Roemhold syndrome. Post nasal that does not stop all year. Fullness in ears since covid vax and eyes go blurry. List is long. This is good info here and also try the you tube site The Steady Coach...Dr. Yonit Arthur helping people also. Keep going wishing you relief and answers! I also have issue since covid vax hard to swallow upper throat.
Omg. I’m going to do the tests!!! I have suffered from debilitating Vertigo for several years lasting 2-3 days each episode, happens at minimum 2 times a week. I’ve had every balance test, been seen by ENT, Neurologist and no known reason😥. Prescribed Meclizine with no relief! Just did another visit to Audiology and my neurologist, they scheduled a MRA next week. Ugh
THANKS, I have had vertigo for a little while and tried a lot of different things with my ears, no success. After watching your video, I know now that my problem is my back. I had my vertebra c1-c7 frozen about a year ago because of a car accident and now I am beginning to get problems that I never knew about, coming from my neck. I really thank you for posting this and your caring manner made me feel a lot better. Thanks
Glad i came across this video iv been having vertigo for the last 2 weeks thinking it might be coming from my ear knowing now it could be coming from my neck as i have suffered a long time with stiffness and uncomfortable neck movements that when i stretch by reaching up it sends me dizzy also when bending down it also hurts when i put pressure on certain points of my neck
Your explanations are very good! Thank you! For me, 11 months now of dizziness.... i'm exhausted. I have scoliosis and a lot of neck pain. I think my neck is the problem but I did your tests and it doesn't seems to work.. Also when i'm dizzy, I feel like my eyes cannot focus like if i'm drunk. Not fun at all. I did a lot of chiro for my scoliosis and it helped me but I have a fear for the neck adjustement. I have an appointment for a MRI next week.
Because I think the upper spine is more fragile than the lower back and the neck adjustments makes me anxious. Im going to try to take an appointement soon and fight that fear.
Thank you very much sir. Informative and safe. gave me the insite i needed to go and see my dr and chiro, also gave me the relief to get back to the grind. Thanks again Dr
Hello Mathew !!. IV got vertigo now last 2 months ,but I'm in Greece ,usually come Toronto ,Milton ,when my schedule fits I'll sure contact you !! Your great ,thanks
I have had cervical dizziness for three years. Had all kinds of test so know it isn’t eyes or ears. I have a lot of neck pain, headaches, extreme eye issues with nystagmus and being unable to focus when the dizziness starts and also bad balance issues. When it starts all I can do is lay down close my eyes and hope it lets up. . In 1995 a chiropractor ruptured two discs in my low back and I had to have surgery, needless to say I am terrified to go to a chiropractor to have this addressed , what else can be done for the neck to get the mastoid bone aligned again? Last year I spent months in physical therapy and it did help as far as how many times a week I had the dizziness also duration. It was a big help in helping me keep my balance when it suddenly starts instead of falling. Im at my wits end.
I've been putting up with dizziness for the past 2 months. I am sure it is from my neck as I was extremely stressed doing computer work when it suddenly started. I also have tingling from behind my left ear, down under my jaw and down the left side of my neck to the top of my chest. I can hear crunchy sounds inside my head when I move my neck & I would feel off balanced. The more I moved my neck, the worse and longer it lasted. I was afraid to leave my apartment because I was so unsteady, but I found walking straight without moving my head has been the safest for me to get around.
@ziyadahmad6802 I had the dizziness for 4½ months. My doctor kept denying it was from my neck, so I found neck stretching exercises on UA-cam, and that is how it eventually went away. I have to remember to continue to do them because when I stopped, the dizziness started to come back again.
Thank you so much for responding to my comment. Its been a hell of a journey, 7 years. Yes last test out of many was a MRI of the upper cervical neck which showed that I have two bones touching each other. You asked if I would like to follow up with a chiropractor and yes I do. I need to find a chiropractor near me in Florida near orange city, Deland, Deltona or Daytona. Need to follow up with my pcp to inform her that I was very disappointed with the treatment suggested by the neurologist, which was to take DOXEPIN start with one pill until I get to 3 pills per night.
My favourite Chiropractor is in orlando. I know its not crazy far from you. If not, I would call his office and ask if he recommends anyone in Orange city. lernerchiropractic.com/
Ive had all these mysterious balance issues/dizzyness etc aft covid/vaccines. Most of my friends thought im just pretending etc. Living with it on a daily basis now.
I get vertigo from time to time, which I suspect is related to my neck having seen your great video - I have bad posture and the bone behind my ears is often very sore to touch. Anyway, I recently had a very bad spell of dizziness (no spinning) and nausea, which persisted on an off for several weeks. Then I read about sinus (which I have) and vertigo with a suggestion to hold your nose and blow to clear the Eustachian tube that connects your throat with your inner ear. As soon as I did there was an "explosion" from my left ear - a loud bang followed by a gush of air. I immediately felt better. Perhaps this is something we should all do regularly. Thanks for the video, its very helpful.
Yes, Had broken septum ( nose) surgery in 2012 , ENT DR. Told just that gently hold my nose and blow to open eustachian tubes for drainage especially in the springtime Allergies season... Very helpful..
WoW. Thank you for this information. I have been having many years of pain and problems with my neck. Been telling my Dr s etc. They keep saying vertigo and doing a head scan. Suffered many years with vertigo but pain comes exactly in my neck how you described it. I wish the Dr saw this all theses years of suffering. 😢 I’m goin to see a chiropractor now Thank you so much 🙏
Just saw this video. Haven't tried the self test yet. When I lay on the floor, like working on a car, I get dizzy when I get up and sometimes nauseated. It seems to come from me straining my neck as I hold it up off the floor. I had a bad neck sprain 40 years ago and have had neck problems every since.
I have bad vertigo attacks almost daily. Saturday I was at work and it happened. I'm a nurse, surrounded by some fantastic nurses who took care of me and got me to the ER. It was a bad one. Zero control of my body, vomiting/retching non stop. Horrible headache. Never had this before 5/2018. Had surgery in 2019 and got almost 5 years. I don't drive, I don't want to give out bc it's just too much stress. I want my life back so bad. I'll try anything again this point.
Thank you for educating me, your contributions are so appreciated. You explain completely every step. People like you make the rest of us richer by sharing your knowledge. Again , I humbly thank you!
My dizziness has been diagnosed as vestibular migraine. I ve had previous history of neck trouble-had physio and traction. I've been encouraged to see a chiropractor by friends so that s my next move.
This is my 2nd day of dizziness with neck pain. I searched & found many videos saying the 2 are connected. Only lasted seconds but was scary. My Neck Issues: •Scoliosis surgery 1985 Rod & 6 bolts lower spine. ~Cervical Spinal Stenosis @ C4-C5 ~Spinal cord abutment but no spinal cord compression ~Hemangioma @ T1 ~Anterior Abutment of Spinal Cord by Disk Herniation @ C4-C5 ~Disk Herniation C5 & C6 (no abutment) ~Gross Preservation of Cervical Vertebral Body Heights ~Loss of Normal Intervertebral Disk Signal at All Levels consistent w/disk Desiccation ~Focal T2 signal abnormally w/in spinal cord @ C1 & C6-C7 ~May be Cystic areas of Myomalacia ~Bright T2 signal abnormalities on right of C5-C6 & C6-C7 & left of C6-C7 consistent w/nerve root avulsion ~AP dimensions of spinal canal: C2-C3 17mm C3-C4 15mm C4-C5 12-13mm C5-C6 12-13mm C6-C7 14mm C7-T1 15mm ~Degenerative change of cervical spine mostly @ C4-C5 through C6-C7 w/abutment of spinal cord anteriorly at herniated discs C4-C5 ~Nerve root avulsion on right of C5-C6 & C6-C7 & left of C6-C7 ~May need Anterior Cervical Microdiscectomy Fusion (ACDF) surgery
Thank you so so much....I just discovered your channel and subscribed.....this just helped me incredibly. I've had regular occurrences of vertigo and severe migraines for 20 yrs. ✌🌿💚
Thank you so much for explaining what vertigo or dizzyness stems from. I did the temperature test and you are right , my left side to the right side is out by a little over.3 . I have disc degenerative disease in my lower back and upper back also. I am diabetic and have to really watch my sugars. I will be starting therapy August 20th but I will be booking a chiropractor first. Again thank you
I have had this problem for a while… G.P. Sent me for an MRI on my ears which I knew would come back negative. I know the problem is coming from my neck. I was in a car accident in my early 20’s now 61 and I know my problems stem from that. The bruising on my body was the exact imprint of the seat belt. So definitely had whiplash. I’ve been to an Osteopath,Physiotherapist, acupuncturist and then finally a chiropractor who did work on me but nothing changed. I decided to wear a collar in bed as I cannot lie down without it. I can’t lie on either side luckily I naturally sleep on my back. I couldn’t sleep at all without the collar. It’s made of memory foam so very comfortable but it has to be the same width all the way around… the travel ones are no good for me whatsoever and I’m struggling to find more like the one I have. I’ve just resigned myself to living in this way. My shoulder and neck ache a lot and I have flare ups. Watching this video has spurred me on to find another chiropractor… I had one treatment and when I came out initially it felt great but before I even got home I began experiencing a flare up.I’ll do some research and hopefully find the right one for me. Thank you for sharing.
I suffered from chronic vertigo for 4 years. As a nurse, I knew it was something to do with my eyes. A neuro ophthalmologist diagnosed me with Nystagmus and I take Ampyra which helps tremendously but I still have balance issues and my active lifestyle just ended. I went to a orthopedic and had a MRI if my neck but nothing showed up. I wish my problems were this easy to fix .,😢
Hi Dr Paso glad to listen to your presentation am always dizzy without knowing why but now I will do my best to find out what is causing it and try out what you are telling us but bad enough I haven't come across any chiropractor here in Uganda thanks again Justine Kigongo
Great video. Your demonstrations are brilliant.I suffer from vertigo and headaches every day. I will try some if your exercises to see if it can help me. Thank you
I took a bad fall straight ahead and probably got some whiplash. I went to my chiropractor who cured my vertigo a few years ago but this time he has actually triggered it and made it worse. So I am desperate to find some relief. I am going to start your diet ideas and the exercises. Hopefully I get some relief.
Thank you for the information doc. I was diagnosed for vestibular neuronitis since 2021 up to now still suffering from dizziness, vertigo.. even Gerd and Anxiety also... Been to many doctors from Internal Medicine, Cardio, Neuro, ENT and Ophthal.. Hope this time for Chiropractic It will resolve may problems. God bless
Jeeeez..not fun having nausea and light headed dizziness...(diagnosed with virtigo) now trying a drug called stemetil.. my issiues goes way back for me..50 years back, l experienced nausea and dizziness on swings in playground..all my life super senstive to motion sickness....ear aches recently triggerd major nausea dizziness..now off work AGAIN..!!
Well, thank you, Big Brother, who is constantly monitoring my conversations because I literally just said this to my dad on the phone today, and to my husband tonight, and his phone was near him. I was heard. I've been struggling with vertigo, and I had Meniere's Disease in the past, but this is TOTALLY different. I've had ruptured discs in my neck for years, and I said, "I wonder if this vertigo has something to do with my neck?" When I am laying down it happens -- especially on my left side. If I lay ON my left side it feels like everything in there closes up. The ENT is telling me that I have very small eustachean tubes, and he's saying that I am majorly hearing impaired in my left ear. When I blow my nose, I hear crackling. My neck hurts very often. Sometimes, I feel like I have whiplash. I can't get comfortable sleeping. I get back headaches. After seeing this, I'm convinced it's my neck. I did the thermometer test and it was .6 off. I did the swivel chair test and everything got woozy. Thank you thank you for this video. I did the neck exercise, and I couldn't turn my neck that far and it hurt and I heard cracking, and I got dizzy.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m not quite sure what you mean about the temperature differential to determine if it’s coming from your neck. Could you please make that more clear for me ?thank you very much.
Can someone get vertigo from a deep tissue massage? Wednesday I had an 80 min and he finished with a deep massage on my neck. And when I stood up afterwards it was the craziest dizziness I’ve ever experienced. And, I’ve had MANY massages over the years and this has never happened before. This was on Wednesday, 4 days ago and I still get crazy dizzy when I make sudden movements, at night when moving side to side or any sudden movements during the day. I’m 38 and feel too young for this. I’m scared no one will be able to help me.
Yes. The exact same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. I had a massage and she worked a long time on my neck and my head when I got up I had extreme vertigo. I've been suffering from it for 2 weeks now.
Thanks Doctor! Is it possible a mild stroke has caused my increased dizziness please ? I had some dizziness before my stroke but it has gotten worse after it.
Thank you for this video and such detailed information. I had Influenza A the end of March/early April . Since my recovery I've been battling vertigo. I'm also dealing with some degenerative disk problems and am waiting to see a pain specialist for a possible injection. Could the vertigo be related to the spine problems, or is this a post symptom from the Influenza. Thank you!
Hello Dr. Posa I have been having just the unbalance feeling since 2014 from a car wreck,but I adapted to it. Just yesterday I was looking at my phone and looking down at the phone but putting a strain on my neck and as I looked up the world started to turn ,I felt my eyes trying to adjust to what was going on,we made it home and I went to lay down and was getting all the room spinning sensations but it wasn't full on spinning,so I tried to turn to either side and the spinning was there and also closing my eyes it was definitely there. I stood back to my feet and tried to walk it was normal but a slight change in my steps. Now I never experienced all of these symptoms except for the unbalanced feeling in my head. But since the forward head leaning/strain it has become bad last night. I am terrified for the first time in my life about my situation. I didn't see how to do the standing test in the video.
I suggest getting your upper cervical spine checked by a corrective chiropractor. The muscles under your skull (sub occipitals) are closely linked to your neck and eyes.
Hi dr Iam suffering from vertigo since last 4 years ent dr told me its from ear. After i get pain then ortho dr also advice me go to ent dr. But my problem is not fixed they given me medication like Betaserc Strugeron, im use since last 4 years I have neck pain and pressure in my ear. And while sleeping in left side i will feeling dizziness. And something just moveing my neck or eyes, Please advice me hiw i can take correct treatment.
For a week now i have had dizziness/virtigo. My legs feel weak and wobbly I have tension headaches and my eyes hurt, my vision is a bit blurry and the ER told me my labs looked good. My bp was okay, mildly elevated but okay. My neck has been mildly sore but today it feels very stiff and sore, my virtigo and dizziness is worse today too.
My Chiro’s adjustment for that Atlas area is what caused my vertigo. I went in for low back pain which I now believe is from low vitamin D3. Side note: I have Osteoporosis.
I would recommend it. Especially since having stenosis is not contraindicated. In most cases, symptoms of spinal stenosis also improve. Could be a game changer for you
Thank you for the video. I have been experiencing dizziness for over nine months. I've had both a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. I visited a neurologist who prescribed migraine medication, but it didn't help. The neurologist then referred me to a cardiologist, where I had a normal stress test. I'm not sure what to do next. Any tips to help?
I get sooo dizzy like im gonna faint, i have thrown up and not always but my legs feel weak and im scared. I have had blood work done and nothing, ive had a head ct and nothing. I hate living like this and being in fear
What if it will not stay in alignment, after many adjustments? Tendon weakness in Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, can cause Upper Cervical instability. Stabilizing/strengthening the tendons should be done. Adjustments, which are too aggressive can worsen this problem for some people.
Absolutely and that’s the difference between getting a manipulation vs adjustment is so different. Understanding when and when not to adjust, how to strengthen the area and create stability is the goal for most corrective chiropractors. In my office it happens often that I don’t have to adjust the same segment sometimes for months since we create stability
Do you think a gallbladder causing right neck/shoulder pain could be connected. Firstly, yes I’m going to my chiro as soon as they open today lol but my situation is: yesterday I started taking betaine hcl and beet flow supplements to help my digestion. After the first meal the pain in my neck on the right side (that I’m sure is from a congested gallbladder) was gone! It’s been like that for years. Then 12 hrs later I come home from work and nap, wake up and my bed felt like a boat in the ocean tossing on the waves. Now another 12 hrs and I see your videos and it’s starting to make sense. I also think if my digestion wasn’t working properly and I shocked it all of a sudden maybe some sort or minerals or blood sugar went out of whack. What do you think Doc, probably the right side gallbladder pain now being relieved causing it? The bone behind the ear is definitely sensitive
You are definitely on to something. I do think you need to make sure your neck is in great shape as well as ensuring your digestion/gallbladder is functioning properly. Pain can radiate/refer to your shoulders and bottom neck.
They might be great but I don’t know much about their care and techniques. I always look for corrective chiropractors who do extensive testing including xrsys and do follow up testing to ensure correction is happening.
I es diagnosed with cervicalgia unable to walk or have a good balance. Got an MRI and all medical labs no issues very healthy for the past 55 years. Got 2 steroid shots on my neck last week hope to see some improvement.
Hi Dr.lm under care about manier desease my left ear l took treatment about it , but one thing I discovered one day is this when l have neck pain some times take vertigo and vomit... now with your help I see my suspicion it's wasn't imaginations. Thanks for your Help.👋
Hi, I have been to see an ENT doctor who told me I have crystals that is causing my dizziness. I also saw a general doctor who told me to go see a chiropractor. The chiropractor has been concentrating on my neck and shoulders. After my last session, which is very painful, I could not walk and was very dizzy. I could not drive home. By the way, I take Betahistine every day for my dizziness. Why does it hurt so much at the chiropractor and why did I become so dizzy after her treatment. Thank you.
I had a severe car accident with whiplash and have lived intermittent vertigo. Sometimes I just move my neck a certain way and I get a period of lack of oxygen to my head. Makes me dizzy but passes. I think stress can cause it as well as my stress hits my neck muscle causing tension and results in a feeling of vertigo. When it happens I get into a panic mode from the feeling making it worse. What is a good way to avoid the intermittent vertigo or what is your explanation of this condition.
Any suggestions for a person who due to palliative treatment for metastatic tumors, now has several spinal fractures (cyphosis+ lardosis) ? No pain, but peripheral neuropathy on the whole left side & instability when walking. Thank you.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to comment since I would have to speak with your doctor and make sure it would be safe. This is one of the few cases we might not be able to do adjustments. I hope you are doing well and beat it! Best of luck 🙏
Thank you for this video. I have been experiencing vertigo, swaying to one side especially for more than a month. Got an MRI which showed nothing, blood work was normal, but when I did the acupressure point release exercise, it fixed the issue at least temporarily, after a few minutes it went back to being kind of dizzy again.There would also be times in the evening I would get a racing heart for a few moments as well..Is this all related to the vagus nerve, and is now a good time to see a chiropractor? Thanks.
This is the absolute best time to see a chiropractor. Make sure you find a chiropractor that focuses on the upper cervical spine.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL....you mentioned the vagus nerve...I had researched the nerve for years because of my episodes of hyperventilatiom, tachycardia, and now I have a fib from apnea, caused by gall bladder surgery, in the 70s.
@@jeanmader2302
Hello ,you said you have a fib after having gallbladder surgery. So you have an issue with your heart now? All this is just scary.
@@HMFamBlessed It was the week of my gall bladder surgery, when I began to awaken, feeling as if I was dying. I began to fear going to sleep, and ended up in the ER one time, where they kept me for four hours. I did much questioning to doctors who said it was nerves...lol...they had the nerve. We know our bodies, and we feel when something is awry. Plus...no one was treating apnea in 1972. I am going to be 79 in June. I am still learning everything I can all the time. The medical journal I read info about respiratory issues, stated..."Patients who have undergone open abdominal surgeries will likely suffer from respiratory issues." I asked my apnea NP if that was true, and her answer was "unfortunately, yes." So, I asked my former GP, if I could have a hole in my diaphragm. He said that if I did, I would be having other symptoms. I BEelieve part of my issues may be digestive, since I have no gall bladder, but it was never taken into consideration. Duh...So, I am inrterested in bile salts, but since my life has become so in volved with my husband's dementia, my needs are on the VERY back burner.
@@drmatthewposadc I called a local chiropractor yesterday, and he was clueless, or nervous about my not having a diagnosis. I told him I didn't need a diagnosis, if I was coming in for dizziness. I worked for a chiropractor years ago, and we treated symptoms, and one patient was passing out for no reason. It was a neck area that needed adjustment. Through my extensive research into the wee hours, I think I have my issue resolved. I had looked up dizziness and vertigo causes, and in one a girl was low in vitamin D. I researched that, and many symptoms were listed, but not dizziness, so I typed vit d and dizziness. Bingo! I had been skipping my 4000iu, and kept reminding myself to take it, and a mini crisis would come up. I immediately took 4000, plus an extra 2000, plus 2 K2. This morning my vertigo was so minimal. So I took another half dose this morning. I read the dosage could be 10000, but I want to do it gradually. Amazing vitamin D. I had just said to my husband when the sun was out...open the car window, so I can get some D. LOL IT was very cold outside.
My doctor only tried to write me a script for anxiety. Never had anxiety until i had dizziness.
Same here
Had serious anxiety since my late 20's , for a few years now also vertigo in my right ear giving me severe dizziness ( after an episode of Labyrinthitis ) that makes my anxiety even worse, beginning to think going back decades that the vertigo balance issues gave me an anxiety panic disorder , trying the Epley but it is very distressing to do , however, the condition comes and goes every few months, the anxiety condition I'm stuck with , some meds, travel sickness meds and diazepam do settle the balance problems quite a bit but probably not the answer , anxiety causes vertigo = vertigo causes anxiety , its all horrible and ruined much of my adult life with several years off work periodically
The doctor gave me Luvox brand anxiety medication, and it made me dizzy again....
I have had similar symptoms and been to various Dr’s. I finally went to a spine specialist and he ordered an MRI . His diagnosis was mine was all muscular located in the upper cervical . I started massage therapy and the therapist suggested I wear a cervical collar when I go to bed. This has given me a new lease on life and my dizziness and pain in my back and shoulders relief.
Amazing! One last step would be to make sure the atlas bone is balanced. Upper cervical chiropractors are great
I’m having the same exact thing happening right now and my C spine MRI showed a lot of problems with the disks and muscles. They’re starting me in physical therapy this week, but I am hoping to get some type of relief and improvement soon. This has been 10 months of an absolute nightmare.
@@jennykvoxmee too, 11 months now that I been suffering dizziness, vertigo and eyes problem.... Its a nightmare and I had panic attacks and lots of anxiety because of that... I always have neck pain and stiffness.
I just change my way of sleeping and change my pillow too. Hope it will helps.
I am experiencing the same thing vertigo. I feel like I am going crazy to be honest. I was born with Spinal Bifida Occulta. I plan on going to the back doctor very soon. I did yoir tests and yep I have issues. I tried to massage than muscle and wholly molly. It lit my me up. I will have to slowly massage it. It is super tight. I spend long hours in a desk chair. Poor posture and used to sleep on my stomache wheew

Thank you so much for ending my positional vertigo! The video I saw was the one that you were wearing a light blue shirt and did the one to lay on back, turn head side to side and then roll over on face. Two minutes cured two yrs of vertigo. I only had to do it once. I had a MRI, was told to do the epley one that didn't work for me. Next they were going to put me on pills and I refused. I got vertigo from leaning my head back in a shower to wash my hair. Thanks to you, I no longer spin when I lay down or bend over, etc and I stopped walking like an old woman. I love you and I will be forever grateful.
Which video was this? Do you have the link?
I have headaches and dizziness for a year , I know it is normal vertigo, I had that before, but after CT scan doesn’t show anything, my doc think I am just pretending, it’s so unpleasant and uncomfortable to be in this situation, thank you doc for such details explanation, I know what to do now. Thanks
Unfortunately I’ve heard this from many patients before. What’s even harder that the symptoms is people not believing you. I hope you get relief soon!
I am having same problem feels like doctors seems to think you are unstable but this is real.I have had ct test mri test, still know relief
Thanks for video but could u take vitb12 vitd3 withk2 if u have high blood pressure
I know what you mean I have been in this for 7 year and people start saying am just feeling it I have to relax and it is nothing but it’s very hard and almost impossible to do anything
The most simplest advise from a real doctor. Been told different things but no results!
Thank you!
Wow! Your remedy actually stopped the grinding in my neck! Thank you
I use neck exercises and eye exercises….I’ve had vertigo for years but assumed it was from a concussion I had in the 80’s….then I found out I had a compressed disk in my neck…the eye exercises really help to stabilize it fast….
Please share the exercises or where to search. Moms been in and out of hospital for past two years from I believe vertigo - nausea vomiting. She’s 80 and frail.
Could u explain the exercises?
I’m glad having you to share this information online I wish I had a chance to see the video in 2011 when I was sick, anyway I take notes thank you God bless you.
Thanks for watching! Blessings
You explain these thing so well,thanks
So nice of you! Thank you
You are so thorough and very kind to share the information to help others. Thank you very much!
You’re very welcome! Appreciate the comment

I did go to my chiropractor. He did c1 c2 & spine ajustment. A week ago. Still slightly dizzy. Also Vertigo from my right ear. Taking Flonase for fluid. Will see therapist for epply next week if needed.
I did the neck test and my vertigo is not coming from my neck which I assumed. Thanks Dr. Matthew I will follow up.
One less thing to worry about!
Were was dizziness coming from
Wow. I always thought vertigo and dizziness were the same.
I've been experiencing dizziness/vertigo for quite a while now. It started maybe 8 years ago, very mild, where I couldn't turn to look around me when I'm walking, or I start to lose my balance. In the last 6-8 months it has gotten serious. Every step I take jars my visual perception. If I'm standing and I close my eyes, I have to be touching something or I start to lose my balance. (When taking a shower I have to have an elbow touching the wall or I start to tip over.) Someone else commented mentioning the vagus nerve. I also have a chronic cough that ENTs and allergists can't figure out. Different things trigger it from food textures, talking a lot, yawning really wide and exertion. And other times a cough hits me without warning. I also seem to suffer from post nasal drip, but the nose sprays and allergy pills the allergist prescribed didn't do a thing. Could this all be related somehow? I tried your three tests, but they were all negative for me.
I get PVCs which are skipped heart beats related to vagus nerve and eating called Roemhold syndrome. Post nasal that does not stop all year. Fullness in ears since covid vax and eyes go blurry. List is long. This is good info here and also try the you tube site The Steady Coach...Dr. Yonit Arthur helping people also. Keep going wishing you relief and answers! I also have issue since covid vax hard to swallow upper throat.
Omg. I’m going to do the tests!!! I have suffered from debilitating Vertigo for several years lasting 2-3 days each episode, happens at minimum 2 times a week. I’ve had every balance test, been seen by ENT, Neurologist and no known reason😥. Prescribed Meclizine with no relief! Just did another visit to Audiology and my neurologist, they scheduled a MRA next week. Ugh
Honestly it is a disability and for some incurable. Can't work, can't drive can't walk.
Hi Doc,
From Being a R. N. For 20 yrs. pushing beds. Picking up and
Moving People..
My neck is Not happy..
Tnx for this..: 🌟
Thanks for everything you do!
I've been suffering from vertigo for 4 months now. Thank you for this very informative tests/ advices
THANKS, I have had vertigo for a little while and tried a lot of different things with my ears, no success. After watching your video, I know now that my problem is my back. I had my vertebra c1-c7 frozen about a year ago because of a car accident and now I am beginning to get problems that I never knew about, coming from my neck. I really thank you for posting this and your caring manner made me feel a lot better. Thanks
You are more than welcome! Thank you for sharing and I hope this helps you get better.
Your presentation was awesome! Thanks for your totally informative exercises!
You're so welcome!
Glad i came across this video iv been having vertigo for the last 2 weeks thinking it might be coming from my ear knowing now it could be coming from my neck as i have suffered a long time with stiffness and uncomfortable neck movements that when i stretch by reaching up it sends me dizzy also when bending down it also hurts when i put pressure on certain points of my neck
Yup! Your neck could be the problem. Have you been to a corrective or upper cervical chiropractor?
@drmatthewposadc No, I haven't. iv just been putting up with it, but I will sort the problem out now .Thank you very much for your reply
Thank you, Doc. Well done. I enjoyed it and your perspective.
Cannot express how perfectly you explained this thank you. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Appreciate the feedback
Your explanations are very good! Thank you!
For me, 11 months now of dizziness.... i'm exhausted. I have scoliosis and a lot of neck pain. I think my neck is the problem but I did your tests and it doesn't seems to work..
Also when i'm dizzy, I feel like my eyes cannot focus like if i'm drunk. Not fun at all.
I did a lot of chiro for my scoliosis and it helped me but I have a fear for the neck adjustement.
I have an appointment for a MRI next week.
Why didn’t you get the chiropractor to help your neck? If you can trust them with your lower spine why wouldn’t they be able to help your upper spine?
Because I think the upper spine is more fragile than the lower back and the neck adjustments makes me anxious. Im going to try to take an appointement soon and fight that fear.
@Lolleee13 how did it go?
@@EricTireguy It's almost Gone!!! I went to a chiropractor and she fix my problem! My upper spine was off. I got my life back :)
Thank you very much sir. Informative and safe. gave me the insite i needed to go and see my dr and chiro, also gave me the relief to get back to the grind. Thanks again Dr
Best of luck!
Thank you for sharing this important information. You know something.. you’re helping millions of people with this info.
Glad to help! And I really appreciate that comment. 100% my goal.
I cured an episode of vertigo by doing the maneuver on the bed but hanging my head lower and holding it longer to stretch the neck better.
Amazing! Im happy you figured out it was your neck and you got relief. Good job!
exactly what i do.
Gonna try this when I get home thank you
How did it go? I’ve made a few more vertigo videos recently and making a few more to be released soon
Great idea very interesting. Thanks!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. 👊
Hello Mathew !!. IV got vertigo now last 2 months ,but I'm in Greece ,usually come Toronto ,Milton ,when my schedule fits I'll sure contact you !! Your great ,thanks
I have had cervical dizziness for three years. Had all kinds of test so know it isn’t eyes or ears. I have a lot of neck pain, headaches, extreme eye issues with nystagmus and being unable to focus when the dizziness starts and also bad balance issues. When it starts all I can do is lay down close my eyes and hope it lets up. . In 1995 a chiropractor ruptured two discs in my low back and I had to have surgery, needless to say I am terrified to go to a chiropractor to have this addressed , what else can be done for the neck to get the mastoid bone aligned again? Last year I spent months in physical therapy and it did help as far as how many times a week I had the dizziness also duration. It was a big help in helping me keep my balance when it suddenly starts instead of falling. Im at my wits end.
I've been putting up with dizziness for the past 2 months. I am sure it is from my neck as I was extremely stressed doing computer work when it suddenly started. I also have tingling from behind my left ear, down under my jaw and down the left side of my neck to the top of my chest. I can hear crunchy sounds inside my head when I move my neck & I would feel off balanced. The more I moved my neck, the worse and longer it lasted. I was afraid to leave my apartment because I was so unsteady, but I found walking straight without moving my head has been the safest for me to get around.
Hey. I have the same problem. Did you find any help?
@ziyadahmad6802 I had the dizziness for 4½ months. My doctor kept denying it was from my neck, so I found neck stretching exercises on UA-cam, and that is how it eventually went away. I have to remember to continue to do them because when I stopped, the dizziness started to come back again.
Thank you so much for responding to my comment. Its been a hell of a journey, 7 years. Yes last test out of many was a MRI of the upper cervical neck which showed that I have two bones touching each other. You asked if I would like to follow up with a chiropractor and yes I do. I need to find a chiropractor near me in Florida near orange city, Deland, Deltona or Daytona. Need to follow up with my pcp to inform her that I was very disappointed with the treatment suggested by the neurologist, which was to take DOXEPIN start with one pill until I get to 3 pills per night.
My favourite Chiropractor is in orlando. I know its not crazy far from you. If not, I would call his office and ask if he recommends anyone in Orange city. lernerchiropractic.com/
I love you for this very important information. God bless you ❤
Same to you!
Ive had all these mysterious balance issues/dizzyness etc aft covid/vaccines.
Most of my friends thought im just pretending etc.
Living with it on a daily basis now.
I started getting it after I had coronavirus. Could you fix it? If you did, please, tell me how. My family also thinks I'm pretendig. It's the worst.

Go for some massages,especially foot reflexology.

I get vertigo from time to time, which I suspect is related to my neck having seen your great video - I have bad posture and the bone behind my ears is often very sore to touch. Anyway, I recently had a very bad spell of dizziness (no spinning) and nausea, which persisted on an off for several weeks. Then I read about sinus (which I have) and vertigo with a suggestion to hold your nose and blow to clear the Eustachian tube that connects your throat with your inner ear. As soon as I did there was an "explosion" from my left ear - a loud bang followed by a gush of air. I immediately felt better. Perhaps this is something we should all do regularly. Thanks for the video, its very helpful.
Yes, Had broken septum ( nose) surgery in 2012 , ENT DR. Told just that gently hold my nose and blow to open eustachian tubes for drainage especially in the springtime Allergies season... Very helpful..
That’s amazing! I’m happy you found an easy solution.
I did this once in a while but twice I almost blackout.After blowing my nose,I sense a strong rush in my brains and almost fainted
Brilliant information
Since September 2020 I have been having similar symptoms and after spending thousands this is the best information I have seen to help me. Thanks
Wow! I’m thankful you watched and wish you only the best 🫶
WoW. Thank you for this information. I have been having many years of pain and problems with my neck. Been telling my Dr s etc. They keep saying vertigo and doing a head scan. Suffered many years with vertigo but pain comes exactly in my neck how you described it. I wish the Dr saw this all theses years of suffering. 😢 I’m goin to see a chiropractor now Thank you so much 🙏
Just saw this video. Haven't tried the self test yet. When I lay on the floor, like working on a car, I get dizzy when I get up and sometimes nauseated. It seems to come from me straining my neck as I hold it up off the floor. I had a bad neck sprain 40 years ago and have had neck problems every since.
Please get to a corrective chiropractor!
I have bad vertigo attacks almost daily. Saturday I was at work and it happened. I'm a nurse, surrounded by some fantastic nurses who took care of me and got me to the ER. It was a bad one. Zero control of my body, vomiting/retching non stop. Horrible headache. Never had this before 5/2018. Had surgery in 2019 and got almost 5 years.
I don't drive, I don't want to give out bc it's just too much stress. I want my life back so bad. I'll try anything again this point.
Most helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I only get vertigo balance when I have my meals.lease explain

Thank you so so much....I just discovered your channel and subscribed.....this just helped me incredibly. I've had regular occurrences of vertigo and severe migraines for 20 yrs. ✌🌿💚
Thank you so much for explaining what vertigo or dizzyness stems from. I did the temperature test and you are right , my left side to the right side is out by a little over.3 . I have disc degenerative disease in my lower back and upper back also. I am diabetic and have to really watch my sugars. I will be starting therapy August 20th but I will be booking a chiropractor first. Again thank you
I have had this problem for a while… G.P. Sent me for an MRI on my ears which I knew would come back negative. I know the problem is coming from my neck. I was in a car accident in my early 20’s now 61 and I know my problems stem from that. The bruising on my body was the exact imprint of the seat belt. So definitely had whiplash. I’ve been to an Osteopath,Physiotherapist, acupuncturist and then finally a chiropractor who did work on me but nothing changed. I decided to wear a collar in bed as I cannot lie down without it. I can’t lie on either side luckily I naturally sleep on my back. I couldn’t sleep at all without the collar. It’s made of memory foam so very comfortable but it has to be the same width all the way around… the travel ones are no good for me whatsoever and I’m struggling to find more like the one I have. I’ve just resigned myself to living in this way. My shoulder and neck ache a lot and I have flare ups. Watching this video has spurred me on to find another chiropractor… I had one treatment and when I came out initially it felt great but before I even got home I began experiencing a flare up.I’ll do some research and hopefully find the right one for me. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your information. Blessings.
Same to you!
I suffered from chronic vertigo for 4 years. As a nurse, I knew it was something to do with my eyes. A neuro ophthalmologist diagnosed me with Nystagmus and I take Ampyra which helps tremendously but I still have balance issues and my active lifestyle just ended. I went to a orthopedic and had a MRI if my neck but nothing showed up. I wish my problems were this easy to fix .,😢
Hi Dr Paso glad to listen to your presentation am always dizzy without knowing why but now I will do my best to find out what is causing it and try out what you are telling us but bad enough I haven't come across any chiropractor here in Uganda thanks again Justine Kigongo
😊😊😢😊😊😊
Hi ma dia did you find the solution yet here in Uganda too went to the doctor but he told me there is no cure for dizziness am always dizzy
Thank you so much am okay now😊
Great! Thanks for letting me know
Great video. Your demonstrations are brilliant.I suffer from vertigo and headaches every day. I will try some if your exercises to see if it can help me. Thank you
Thanks for Sharing Dr. Matthew ❤️
Watching from Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
My pleasure! And welcome! Love Germany by the way!
I took a bad fall straight ahead and probably got some whiplash. I went to my chiropractor who cured my vertigo a few years ago but this time he has actually triggered it and made it worse. So I am desperate to find some relief. I am going to start your diet ideas and the exercises. Hopefully I get some relief.
Thank you 👍
Thank you for the information doc.
I was diagnosed for vestibular neuronitis since 2021 up to now still suffering from dizziness, vertigo.. even Gerd and Anxiety also...
Been to many doctors from Internal Medicine, Cardio, Neuro, ENT and Ophthal..
Hope this time for Chiropractic It will resolve may problems.
God bless
That’s horrible but I’ve had many cases like this and have seen so much improvement with the upper cervical care
Jeeeez..not fun having nausea and light headed dizziness...(diagnosed with virtigo) now trying a drug called stemetil.. my issiues goes way back for me..50 years back, l experienced nausea and dizziness on swings in playground..all my life super senstive to motion sickness....ear aches recently triggerd major nausea dizziness..now off work AGAIN..!!
Thats horrible. In these cases I also make sure the Atlas and Axis are balanced and stable. Makes a huge difference.
Well, thank you, Big Brother, who is constantly monitoring my conversations because I literally just said this to my dad on the phone today, and to my husband tonight, and his phone was near him. I was heard. I've been struggling with vertigo, and I had Meniere's Disease in the past, but this is TOTALLY different. I've had ruptured discs in my neck for years, and I said, "I wonder if this vertigo has something to do with my neck?" When I am laying down it happens -- especially on my left side. If I lay ON my left side it feels like everything in there closes up. The ENT is telling me that I have very small eustachean tubes, and he's saying that I am majorly hearing impaired in my left ear. When I blow my nose, I hear crackling. My neck hurts very often. Sometimes, I feel like I have whiplash. I can't get comfortable sleeping. I get back headaches. After seeing this, I'm convinced it's my neck. I did the thermometer test and it was .6 off. I did the swivel chair test and everything got woozy. Thank you thank you for this video. I did the neck exercise, and I couldn't turn my neck that far and it hurt and I heard cracking, and I got dizzy.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m not quite sure what you mean about the temperature differential to determine if it’s coming from your neck. Could you please make that more clear for me ?thank you very much.
soon as i did that swivel chair with head straight move i realized my neck is involved. thanks
Thank Dr Mathew Posa , for all your neck exercises, thank God it gives me a relief from my problem ,God bless you
You are welcome! Blessings
Can someone get vertigo from a deep tissue massage? Wednesday I had an 80 min and he finished with a deep massage on my neck. And when I stood up afterwards it was the craziest dizziness I’ve ever experienced. And, I’ve had MANY massages over the years and this has never happened before. This was on Wednesday, 4 days ago and I still get crazy dizzy when I make sudden movements, at night when moving side to side or any sudden movements during the day. I’m 38 and feel too young for this. I’m scared no one will be able to help me.
Yes. The exact same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. I had a massage and she worked a long time on my neck and my head when I got up I had extreme vertigo. I've been suffering from it for 2 weeks now.
Mine has not gone away and it’s been a month now. I am seeing a Vestibular specialist this upcoming week and hoping it helps. It realllllllly sucks.
Thanks Doctor! Is it possible a mild stroke has caused my increased dizziness please ? I had some dizziness before my stroke but it has gotten worse after it.
Yes absolutely it’s possible. I would recommend letting your family physician know and proceed with caution.
Thank you for sharing
Super easy to understand. Didn’t fix my vertigo, but very instructional.
Thank you for this video and such detailed information. I had Influenza A the end of March/early April . Since my recovery I've been battling vertigo. I'm also dealing with some degenerative disk problems and am waiting to see a pain specialist for a possible injection. Could the vertigo be related to the spine problems, or is this a post symptom from the Influenza. Thank you!
Hello Dr. Posa I have been having just the unbalance feeling since 2014 from a car wreck,but I adapted to it. Just yesterday I was looking at my phone and looking down at the phone but putting a strain on my neck and as I looked up the world started to turn ,I felt my eyes trying to adjust to what was going on,we made it home and I went to lay down and was getting all the room spinning sensations but it wasn't full on spinning,so I tried to turn to either side and the spinning was there and also closing my eyes it was definitely there. I stood back to my feet and tried to walk it was normal but a slight change in my steps. Now I never experienced all of these symptoms except for the unbalanced feeling in my head. But since the forward head leaning/strain it has become bad last night. I am terrified for the first time in my life about my situation. I didn't see how to do the standing test in the video.
I suggest getting your upper cervical spine checked by a corrective chiropractor. The muscles under your skull (sub occipitals) are closely linked to your neck and eyes.
Hi dr
Iam suffering from vertigo since last 4 years ent dr told me its from ear.
After i get pain then ortho dr also advice me go to ent dr.
But my problem is not fixed they given me medication like Betaserc
Strugeron, im use since last 4 years
I have neck pain and pressure in my ear.
And while sleeping in left side i will feeling dizziness. And something just moveing my neck or eyes,
Please advice me hiw i can take correct treatment.
Please go see a corrective chiropractor or upper cervical chiropractor
For a week now i have had dizziness/virtigo. My legs feel weak and wobbly I have tension headaches and my eyes hurt, my vision is a bit blurry and the ER told me my labs looked good. My bp was okay, mildly elevated but okay. My neck has been mildly sore but today it feels very stiff and sore, my virtigo and dizziness is worse today too.
If you have been checked medically and they ruled out any serious medical problems I would highly recommend seeing an upper cervical chiropractor
My Chiro’s adjustment for that Atlas area is what caused my vertigo. I went in for low back pain which I now believe is from low vitamin D3. Side note: I have Osteoporosis.
Do you suggest a chiropractic adjustment if you have spinal stenosis to fix any vertigo?
I would recommend it. Especially since having stenosis is not contraindicated. In most cases, symptoms of spinal stenosis also improve. Could be a game changer for you
Thank you for the video. I have been experiencing dizziness for over nine months. I've had both a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. I visited a neurologist who prescribed migraine medication, but it didn't help. The neurologist then referred me to a cardiologist, where I had a normal stress test. I'm not sure what to do next. Any tips to help?
Thank you.
Welcome!
I get sooo dizzy like im gonna faint, i have thrown up and not always but my legs feel weak and im scared. I have had blood work done and nothing, ive had a head ct and nothing. I hate living like this and being in fear
Vertigo is horrible. After going to therapy(cervical spine stenosis,) it’s been 3 years since I had a vertigo episode.
The nausea was wicked!
I’m so happy to hear it’s been 3 years. So it was coming from your neck? What kind of therapy did you do?
What if it will not stay in alignment, after many adjustments?
Tendon weakness in Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, can cause Upper Cervical instability. Stabilizing/strengthening the tendons should be done. Adjustments, which are too aggressive can worsen this problem for some people.
Absolutely and that’s the difference between getting a manipulation vs adjustment is so different. Understanding when and when not to adjust, how to strengthen the area and create stability is the goal for most corrective chiropractors. In my office it happens often that I don’t have to adjust the same segment sometimes for months since we create stability
DR let me know if you know a good DR in Camarillo California Im suffering from dizziness
Do you think a gallbladder causing right neck/shoulder pain could be connected. Firstly, yes I’m going to my chiro as soon as they open today lol but my situation is: yesterday I started taking betaine hcl and beet flow supplements to help my digestion. After the first meal the pain in my neck on the right side (that I’m sure is from a congested gallbladder) was gone! It’s been like that for years. Then 12 hrs later I come home from work and nap, wake up and my bed felt like a boat in the ocean tossing on the waves. Now another 12 hrs and I see your videos and it’s starting to make sense. I also think if my digestion wasn’t working properly and I shocked it all of a sudden maybe some sort or minerals or blood sugar went out of whack. What do you think Doc, probably the right side gallbladder pain now being relieved causing it? The bone behind the ear is definitely sensitive
You are definitely on to something. I do think you need to make sure your neck is in great shape as well as ensuring your digestion/gallbladder is functioning properly. Pain can radiate/refer to your shoulders and bottom neck.
Brilliant thankyou im going to get assessment
Thanks very much Doc,I did the exercise and felt better in less than 3 minutes
Woul u recommend the joint chiropractic
They might be great but I don’t know much about their care and techniques. I always look for corrective chiropractors who do extensive testing including xrsys and do follow up testing to ensure correction is happening.
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I am going through. The neck!! But where do I adjust🥲🥲
You're so welcome! Get your chiropractor to specifically look at your atlas, axis, and occiput.
I es diagnosed with cervicalgia unable to walk or have a good balance. Got an MRI and all medical labs no issues very healthy for the past 55 years. Got 2 steroid shots on my neck last week hope to see some improvement.
Thanks!
No problem!
How many times these exercise should be done in a day.
Hi Dr.lm under care about manier desease my left ear l took treatment about it , but one thing I discovered one day is this when l have neck pain some times take vertigo and vomit... now with your help I see my suspicion it's wasn't imaginations. Thanks for your Help.👋

I was diagnosed with manieres disease, i hate flare ups, any pointers

Hi, I have been to see an ENT doctor who told me I have crystals that is causing my dizziness. I also saw a general doctor who told me to go see a chiropractor. The chiropractor has been concentrating on my neck and shoulders. After my last session, which is very painful, I could not walk and was very dizzy. I could not drive home. By the way, I take Betahistine every day for my dizziness. Why does it hurt so much at the chiropractor and why did I become so dizzy after her treatment. Thank you.
I had a severe car accident with whiplash and have lived intermittent vertigo. Sometimes I just move my neck a certain way and I get a period of lack of oxygen to my head. Makes me dizzy but passes. I think stress can cause it as well as my stress hits my neck muscle causing tension and results in a feeling of vertigo. When it happens I get into a panic mode from the feeling making it worse. What is a good way to avoid the intermittent vertigo or what is your explanation of this condition.
I have been dealing with imbalance issues feeling like on a boat my right ear has fluid build up waiting to see ent
Any suggestions for a person who due to palliative treatment for metastatic tumors, now has several spinal fractures (cyphosis+ lardosis) ? No pain, but peripheral neuropathy on the whole left side & instability when walking. Thank you.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to comment since I would have to speak with your doctor and make sure it would be safe. This is one of the few cases we might not be able to do adjustments. I hope you are doing well and beat it! Best of luck 🙏
I have exactly that problem... I've been to few chiro...Have an MRI didn't find anything. I have a CT scan...
Have you been to an upper cervical or corrective chiropractor?
