Question: I have been having dizziness for the past 4 days. Started with a tension headache, I took a half a pill of flexeril for the first 2 days and now have had dizziness. It is better after I wake in the morning and then gets worse throughout the day. Prior to this I have been having issues with short term memory for about 2 months.
