I ve had some neck pain right at the base of the neck for about a week it lessens with ice and Advil but always seems to come back. I don t know if its related but last night I keep getting dizzy in my dreams then waking up dizzy. I made it through work today fine but when I try to lie down to catch up on sleep I feel dizzy again.
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of this nerve root there can be dizziness. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If nerve compression becomes symptomatically severe then surgical decompression will give permanent relief. Hope this answers your query.
