Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You have disc prolapse in cervical and lumbar spine which can cause neck and back pain. Your current symptoms may be due to one of the following reasons.
a. Headache due to spinal leak is usually postural and get worsens in upright position and it relieves in lying down position.
b. Your current medication includes orthocyclene which may causes nausea and vomiting.
c. Also metformin sometimes causes hypoglycemia if your diet is not proper which can lead to headache and dizziness like symptoms.
These things could contribute alone or together to cause your symptoms.
Let me know if you have any more concerns.
