What Causes Dizziness After Resting Neck On A Raised Pillow?

Can be due to stimulation of baroreceptors causing low BP
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic!
Based on the history you have shared, it can due to stimulation of baroreceptors in the neck causing low blood pressure or bradycardia.
In neck vessels, there are sensors for pressure, inside vessels to maintain sitting and standing blood pressures, or to keep fluctuations of pulse and blood pressure in check. The warm compressions around those may have caused stimulation of those leading to heart rythm abnormalities or postural drops. You need to take an EKG and assess your blood pressures. Also get electrolytes, and thyroid levels checked. Drink plenty of fluids and avoiding walking abruptly after standing up from sitting position.
Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
