Can Back Sprain Cause Dizziness?

Hello, I was doing some sit ups last night but only about 20 or so. I then proceeded to do some half push ups. When I tried to get up my back felt like it have given out. I could hardly get up and walk. When I woke up this morning the room was spinning like a vertigo moment. My lower back still hurts and I keep getting dizzy spells. Is the back issue related to the dizziness somehow?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if back sprain cause dizziness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acute back injury , whiplash , sciatica , osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia. Dizziness can also be caused by eat problem , so consult ENT specialist for it . I would suggest you consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may CT scan or MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , muscle relaxant nerve supplement, anti emetic drug along with physical therapy. For now apply warm compresses to back and neck and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Doctor may also recommend surgery in case of disc problem. Also avoid bending forward.
