Hello, yesterday I bent down too quick trying to catch something falling and I felt and heard a loud crack on the left side near mid of mt neck I guess where brain stem would be but below occipital lobe. I was in horrible pain for a second and then I was dizzy. I ve felt foggy and dizzy and sick to my stomach since and I m having trouble focusing. What happened? Did I just have an injury and I m going to feel this way til I heal or could it be more serious?
Hi, Cracking sound in this area followed by symptoms related to cerebellar problem is a serious thing to ignore. In my opinion, it is best for you to do ct scan and MRI in the cervical area to rule out any bone or vascular pathology. If the symptoms occur only temporarily, you may just observe for now, it may also be just a transient blood perfusion abnormality to the brain but if it persists, proceed to the suggested procedures to know what we are dealing with. Thank you.
