whenever i sleep in a way that where my head is pushed toward my chest (like on 2 pillows) i feel dizzy the next day... same thing happens if i just lay that way for a while. i can't seem to find a doctor who can tell me what is happening here. it clearly seems to be a neck issue but what specifically it is seems to be a mystery. anyone experience anything like this or find a doctor specializing in cervicogenic dizziness? i am aware of the NUCCA folks but so far have avoided them.

(like on 2 pillows)
that is not good neck posture so that is one reason for many neck related symptoms. look for "how to choose a pillow" info on websites..

Don't sleep like that then. I used to but am conscious of it now. And I used to have dizziness because of it. It happens very rarely now. Be conscious of your neck's position all the time and you won't have this problem because of your neck.

I have had the same issues although I cannot find a good way to fix it. 1 or 2 pillows it seems random as to when I get the dizziness but I know it is neck related as my previous PT to stretch my neck helped stave off the issues until my last head bump.

If I stayed in a chin toward chest position for very long, my autonomic nervous system would start to malfunction. Low blood pressure, slowed pulse, maybe even apnea. I would sometimes stop breathing while awake. It took more than a year of neck mobilization and good sleeping posture for my neck to strengthen and stabilize before I could do anything with my head tipped forward for long. I believe it was inflammation that interfered with blood flow and nerve function in my brain stem area.

One regular pillow and a few throw pillows do the trick for me. You can put the throw pillows where you need them.
