I'm dealing with constant giddiness but my BP seems fine. I've also been having neck muscle pain. Could my dizziness be linked to my neck issues?
it can be due to Cervical vertigo Also known as cervicogenic dizziness, this condition can be caused by inflammation, joint issues, or trauma. Other symptoms include vision issues, nausea, and lack of coordination. Poor posture, such as "text neck", can also contribute to cervical vertigo. Neck muscle spasms Strong neck muscle contractions can cause dizziness, balance issues, vision changes, and fatigue. Cervical disc herniation When a disc in the neck herniates, the gel inside can irritate a nearby nerve, causing pain in the neck, head, upper back, or arm. Other symptoms include weakness, numbness, and tingling. Stress and anxiety Less common symptoms of anxiety include neck pain, dizziness, or light-headedness. Low blood sugar so consult general physician A sharp drop in blood sugar can cause dizziness, especially when waking up

I'm really struggling with cervical spondylosis and loss of cervical lordosis. My MRI report indicates some serious stuff like a C5-C6 disc with an annular fissure and diffuse posterior bulge, and it's even got central herniation pressing on my spinal cord and affecting both neural foramina. There's this hyperintense signal on the left side of my spinal cord suggesting myomalacia. Also, the C6-C7 disc has its own issues with another fissure and bulge, plus a right paracentral herniation affecting my spinal cord and right C7 nerve, again encroaching on both neural foramina. With all this, I get this annoying tingling in my legs and nerve pain in one of my right-hand fingers. Sitting for long periods just makes my entire spine hurt. I'm curious if there's any Ayurvedic treatment out there that could completely cure this. Also, would I be able to handle any job with my condition? I've tried physiotherapy treatments like IFT, ultra cervical traction, and steam for months, which seemed to help for a while. But the pain is back. Should I keep doing the same physiotherapy again, or is there anything else you'd recommend?
