I'm not on any meds for dizziness at this time. I'll be interested in your outcome.

Today I have headache, brainfog and my neck is popping and cracking all the time. The last two have been common for me recently, but not the headache. Usually, I have dizziness instead. Maybe something is changing...?

Re: dizziness ......I'm currently looking at Pulsatile Tinnitus.
- The condition is a result of a disturbance in the blood flow of the head or neck.
What do you think????:Clever:

Every time I've read about it, including just now, it's mentioned to have the rhythm of the pulse, which I do not experience. I think my tinnitus is derived from blood flow issues, but doesn't match this particular label because it lacks that property.

Do you sometimes feel like your ears have a full feeling and a muffled pulsey sound, worse when standing or moving about??

I have this at the moment and I can't tolerate loud noises - they make my ears almost vibrate and echo the loudness. My son is abit annoyed with me as I keep asking him to turn the TV down or to talk with a quieter tone ( he's a typical noisy teen ). My hearing is very sensitive at the moment. I haven't yet picked up my prescription for the Prochlorperazine. I've looked it up and I'm abit wary...... LOTS of horrid side effects ( which I'm bond to experience knowing my luck!) It also states NOT to take if experiencing breathing difficulties. I haven't quite got back to normal with my breathing yet since my op as I think that I picked up abit of a chest/throat infection???? :( I really think I may give it a miss. Really confused:confused: as to what I should do. As much as I don't want to take this kind of med I also don't want this dizziness / headachy feeling!

I've had the full feeling in the past, although it hasn't been bad lately.

I understand your concern about the meds. If it's contraindicated for people with breathing problems then I think you have to wait until that resolves.

I often get partial and sometimes full relief from doing this:

-- heat my neck (typically with the carex bed buddy back/neck wrap)
-- neck stretches, primarily for the front of the neck
-- first rib adjustment with strap -- hey you don't have one so you can skip this step! :D

Takes me at least 20 mins and sometimes 40.

Good luck!

I always say , if you don't laugh you'll cry.... right?
A good blob of Tiger Balm and stretches works for me.
With regards to the anti dizziness meds I really do think I'm gonna give them a miss.... I've not even collected them from the chemist yet so I guess I've unsubconsciously answered my own question about how I feel on taking them. I'm not willing to take anything that could possibly bring on such horrid side effects if I react to them. So if I have a dizzy spell, I'll just have to rest where ever I am and not worry about people staring at me. If the need comes to stick my head between my legs and breath deep.... so be it. I've been in worse positions! :winky: LOL
Take care and hope the pain management keeps up.
