Head tilted down
 
Do your symptoms change if your head is tilted down for a period of time, like when reading a book or using a tablet computer?

Yes, looking down is one of the worst things for me, very painful. Even a web page that can't be scrolled is bad, if I have to look down at the bottom of the computer screen.

Same here. Probably contributing / caused by forward head posture and myself having a long neck. Of course, holding an iPad up to eye level hurts my forearms / hands so it's a no win for me in that way. Thank god for audio books I guess.

Interesting. Thanks for the responses. For me, it's dizziness, particularly when I come back up.

Head tilted down....... that's a big NO NO for me.
I've been off work for 7 weeks now and everyone keeps asking how many books I've read so far.......... HA!!!!!!!! Well, we all know the answer to that one!:rolleyes:

DITTO......... Actually had a scary episode the other day while on an escalator.
I was looking down at the moving steps to correct my footing then looked back up to focus on the top and lost my balance almost, I had the sensation that I was about to fall back:eek:

Regarding the reading, I think it was Peter Edgelow who suggested trying a music stand raised up to head height. And I think someone else in these forums found glasses with mirrors.

Just some ideas...
