I went to see my chiropractor today for some stiffness in my neck. After a few exercises of moving my neck side to side and up and downiI got very dizzy and nauseated. He has referred me to my cardiologist to have the arteries checked in my neck. He said my eyes were not acting right when he moved my head. He did not adjust me in any way.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sudden neck movements can cause vestibular reflex and this causes giddiness, dizziness, nausea etc. So possibility of over neck movements by chiropractor is more for your symptoms. But better to rule out carotid artery thrombosis. Some neck movements can dislodge thrombosis from coronary arteries into the brain and this can cause dizziness and nausea. So better to rule out this possibility first. So get done bilateral carotid artery Doppler. If this is normal then no need to worry much. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
