Headache, dizziness, and neck pain

Posted , 51 users are following.

Has anyone else experienced weekly headaches that just seem to last no matter how much sleep you get or water you drink? I also have neck pain in which I have already seen both chiropractor and physical therapist for. When I have these headaches, I feel pressure behind my ways so intense I can't stand bright lights. On top of all this I am dizzy, however, my balance is totally fine. I have already been to an ENT specialist and had an MRI, etc. Only thing I haven't moved onto is a neurologist because I already am racking up my medical bills and yes I have health insurance but a crappy one at that! Please help. Has anyone else been experiencing this and if so, what did you do to rid it? 

Much appreciated!

    Hi Tony2010

    I do not think this is the same as I am getting because with Cluster Headaches it is what they say they only come in clusters and last approximateley one hour and fifteen minuetes each attack and for a few months then go away mabe fpor annother few months.

    So I am sorry I cannot help you but I realy hope you can relate to someone who is feeling the same.

    Hope you get better soon

    Hi Tiny.....I had a stiff neck for 9 yrs, with Vertigo.... I would suggest you try these few tips as I have..... Buy yourself....... Industrial-Hemp-Oil, you can find it in most health shops, safe to consume, take two table -spoons per/day an hour before bed........Next, roll a pillow out off towel's till you have a Dia of about 4'' - 6'' dependent on your shoulder hight, tie it with tape or cable ties.....trial and error.... Must be firm.... Next, Stop eating Cereal's, Oats, Muesli, Mielie meal,  bread,and sugar...It will take about 4-8 days to lift....It will get much better the longer you stick to it, .... once you feel better try a cereal for three to four days...If it come's back, stop the Cereal's.....I found all three,  key to relief....especially the Hemp-oil....

    Hi all. I have suffered from these symptoms for the past three years. I also get a sort of brain fog. One medication that I have found really helps is promethazine. I am guessing it helped because it is an anti-histamine that also helps with nausea. 

    Has anyone else tried this before and found it helps?

    Hey guys. I've just come across this post whole searching the net. I suffered with aniexty for years now and have learnt my own ways of controlling my symptoms but yes neck pain and headaches r a normally symptom. Also my ear starts ringing and my throat goes tight and breathless it normally last most the day for me but I have my own little way of cintrolling them and it might help u it might not.

    Headaches : put a frozen bag of peas on ur head for 5 mins untill it's almost a unbearable discomfort (like brain freeze) take off leave for 2 mins then respeat and keep doing so untill headache is gone or relived. Another thing that helped me as cutting out my caffeine completly witch has limited my Headaches to twice a week instead of everyday.

    Neck pain: purposly try to click ur neck it will help to relive the pressure. Applying something warm can also help. Also stand in ur door way put both ur hand on either side of the door frame beside u and lean forwards while holding the door frame. Try arms bend nd arms straighten behind u. This will help stretch the muscles in ur neck and sholders and reliebe the pressure. If u have a hubby or bf then a good massage also helps lol 😁 hope this helps good luck x

      Look at the sternocleidomastoid muscle. I was going through the same symptoms for eight months and have been to all the doctors with no results however came across a sprained/stained sternocleidomastoid muscle will cause all the symptoms I was having. I then performed the exercises they speak of and within five mins they all went away. Good luck

      Anxiety definitely worsens the symptoms but like you I had a sinus infection in October with a lot of fluid in my ears and this started soon after I was done with the antibiotics. I too had tightness across my temples but so far these massages have seemed to help that. My anxiety is better now that I've gotten some relief from the dizziness but this condition will make anyone have panic attacks.
