2 Tests for Cervicogenic Vertigo

[rameshbvn]

Chronic dizziness makes one depressed very badly.

I have had this since I compressed my neck during a rugby game at 19. 3 years on it has only gotten worse and it has cut my rugby career short and led into severe depression which made me turn to alcohol and give up on sports and feeling good about myself. Its amazing how a neck injury can have such a butterfly effect on your life. I am happy to say I am getting the right treatment and have found other interests since this so theres always hope!

vertigo is horrible, hard to get diagnosis

[artievanda]

cervicogenic dizziness is a diagnosis of exclusion, you demonstrated dix hallpike with your first maneuver which identifies peripheral vestibular dysfunction, notably BPPV and not a diagnosis of central origin.

Thank you so much. This has been happening to me for a month now and I have had tachycardia recorded and bouts of high blood pressure. Everyone blamed it on anxiety they said it was an anxiety attack and I kept pushing and my g. P today witnessed a muscle spasm in the area I was complaining about and she took me seriously and sent me to physio and I will hopefully be getting a steroid injection soon to help the disc that is pressing on the nerve to recover. It's very inflamed

Uhm how about pressure in the back of the head and ears? And the head shoulders feel very heavy no matter if you’re standing, sitting or lying down? Are these also symptoms?

After 4 months of very mild vertigo and 3 anxiety attacks, this is it, I'm certain this is the type of vertigo I'm suffering from. My symptoms started with a slight head rush type of vertigo (no spinning) when walking or when in front of my computer, only happened a few times a day. As time when on they become more intense, anyway I now get vertigo around evening times when im feeling tired, i really struggle to turn my head due to the slow motion feeling that happens, kind of like travel sickness, makes my stomach churn.
I'm pretty sure this is it, family known for neck issue and the nurse told me that I have horrible posture

[sherp]

I would be spinning if I did that first thing.

I definitely think I have it! Imagine being a surfer for the last 37 years and all of a sudden while sitting in the Ocean on your surfboard not knowing which direction the shore is. You would think that that type of simple thinking would be easy, but literally my brain couldn’t compute it. I’ve had numerous times over the last nine years where I cannot drive long distances because this phenomenon happens I can only drive about 100 miles in order to be safe from this phenomenon happening. My doctor called this morning and is rushing his appointment to see me because my MRI shows a protrusion blocking nerves or. something probably related to this dizzy, spells, and blood or nerves to the brain

I’ve always found when turning my head to get dizzy or blurred vision along with a cramp in my neck, so I’ve had to move my back as well not just my neck so now I have a bulging disc :b I was told by a doctor to just move my head slower they never thought to check for vertigo but with all my symptoms I’ve finally got a doctor that has been doing examinations on me to rule out what combo I have due to my family history issues.

Hi I'm Krishan Pal. I've been suffering from vertigo since 2017. It all started when I started gym on my own at the home without using proper equipments and guidance. I regret of every moment of my life why did I start working out at home own my own. I used to lift heavy weight about 70kg bench press, 110kg squats and 110kg deadlift. Even my mom tried to stop but I was advertently killing myself. Watching all these hunk guys video's Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronnie Coleman, Jay cutler, Kevin Levrone so on bodybuilders i motivated and satisate myself. I was heading in the wrong direction all along but who doesn't want to look like these guys. Everyone praise their's bodies and I was one of them. I wanted to look like them that's the reason I started working out. I pushed hard to attain the body that i desired to. I started taking multivitamin shit Becadexamin, supradin. For a while i thought it would going to make my body like bodybuilders. I couldn't afford protein supplements so I dropped the Idea of purchasing it. I started eating rice just like bodybuilders eat as I was a vegetarian i couldn't eat chicken, fish. I also taken speed height capsules because I was ashamed of my height.

I feel like a exaggerated leaning sensation to the left (which feels disorienting) only when driving, Absolutely no other time. Started few months after a car accident 16 years ago, Only had 1 episode of unexplained neck pain that lasted about two days but that was 5 years after the accident. Thought it was anxiety for many years. Been checked and ears are fine, slight vertical and horizontal heterophoria in one eye, Prism glasses have not resolved the disorientation. I think I will have a chiropractic evaluation soon.

How is any of this different from BPPV dizziness? Its also triggered by head turning in a certain direction

[dracostartrek]

I've this intense dizziness whenever I'm walking or trying to exercise or even while having food. Also, whenever I'm anxious, the dizziness gets even worse. Haven't been able to find the exact problem even after visiting many doctors.

[whackoization]

That first test is for bppv but I guess you could call it an exclusion test to exclude bppv. I've noticed the only two things that actually work on cervical vertigo is yoga movements for the neck and strengthening your shoulders with light weights daily.

Is it possible to be diagnosed with Cervicogenic Vertigo without having ANY neck pain?

[patricialeahy]

Whenever im leaning back in my computer desk chair and get up from sitting down I get really dizzy for a few seconds. I enjoy reclining back watching shows on youtube. I was watching football games on computer this past Sunday and about passed out twice. Then it happened once on Monday when im off work. This doesn't happen when im laying down on the couch and get up nor on my recliner in the living room. Ive pin pointed it to my office chair. It's a leather chair with a high back, but my head leans over the top. Is this cervical vertigo?

I can go to work with no problem and move around during the day. I'm thinking there is more head support on my recliner then the desk chair.

Sensory mismatch would be TWO sensors sending conflicting information to the brain. eyes, ears, or MUSCLES.

Not so simple.
“At present, there is no real diagnostic tool for cervical dizziness. The demonstration of a distorted cervical proprioception would be a way to make the diagnosis more likely. However, one would have to measure the extent of such disturbances and their relationship with symptoms. The smooth-pursuit neck torsion test was suggested to correspond to disturbed proprioception or even whiplash injuries (Tjell and Rosenhall, 1998; Treleaven et al., 2005; Treleaven, 2008). This has been challenged by demonstrating that there is an effect of neck pain as such and that head turning has only a small effect on voluntary eye movements. In addition, test performance appears to deteriorate in patients with neck pain of both traumatic and other origin (Kongsted et al., 2007; Janssen et al., 2015). Posturography may be impaired in patients with cervical complaints and dizziness and discriminates between groups with cervical problems, vestibular problems, and no complaints (Karlberg et al., 1996a, b). Using elaborate mathematic models of human postural control measurements, a discrimination on an individual level can be done but will still only to refer a subject to one of a pre-decided set of groups. Thus, posturography has not reached the level of discrimination on the individual level to be clinically conclusive (Karlberg et al., 1996a, b).”
