I have this strange episodes of dizziness that lasts for a few seconds and are brought on by sitting in a certain position on a chair, such as at the edge of the chair. This mostly happens during summer season when it is hot.
Once I was straining my neck to look closely at the monitor when I had a vertigo. My arms aren't raised above my head when this happens. There is no nausea associated with it. Has anyone felt like this? |

Yes. It use to happen all the time with me prior to my first surgery. I still get it every now and then. I know I can not cross my arms in front of me because that will bring it on.

When my neck was really tight, I would get this when turning it to the side. Particularly turning it to the right which stretches things out on the left which is my worst TOS side.
I do gentle neck mobilizations and stretches every morning, plus some other things, to reduce muscle tension. This fixed the problem by > 90%. |

I had the surgery on the left side with scalenectomy. My left side of neck is still tight from scm. There is no perfect solution for everyone.

I would never push and/or suggest surgery for anyone experiencing TOS or symptoms which replicate "TOS" on a forum based upon YOUR outcome.
In my experience, I have read thousands of forum posts pre and post op. Even though it would be wonderful to declare a surgery "successful" weeks and or months following the procedure, it is not possible. The number of recurrent problems I've read is disastrous in the patient population. |

Long timers around the forums have seen past battles over drs ( what dr is best or worst) and surgery pros and cons... we don't want that to happen here ever. It just creates tension for everyone reading..and that is not good for any of us.
Those old posts were lost in a major system crash on another site. *Sometimes it is best to use the PM system for specific questions or comments.* We also need to be polite about hijacking, or going off topic on another member's thread. I'll bump up the original post to get back on track.

Lately my dizziness has become frightening.
I have episodes of this strange kind of what looks like a dizziness but is not exactly a dizziness or vertigo, where it feels as if the vision and head is being pulled towards the left side. I especially get this feeling when walking slowly (taking a few steps). There were times I almost fell when I had episodes like this. I am afraid that if this being caused by incomplete blood supply to the head, especially the vestibular region of brain, then it might cause TIA or even stroke. |
