I have been experiencing giddiness and imbalance for past 01 days. I consulted my physiotherapist who said that I might have a neck strain and advised me to visit a general physician. He prescribed me vertin 16, Atorvastatin, stemetil, Aceclofenac. He also said that it might be due to neck strain caused either because of stress or neck strain. He told me visit him if the condition persist. But I did not feel like I have recoverd. Is there anything alarming about this?
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there can be giddiness and pain. I will advise you to MRI cervical spine or MRI brain for better diagnosis. It can be due to various causes like sudden jerk to spine, due to facet arthritis, degenerative, due to chronic systemic disease like diabetes or hypothyroidism.
