Experienced Blurred Vision, Intense Neck Pain, Dizziness, Nausea, Headache. Due To Vertebral Artery Damage?
During a massage yesterday, the LMT was doing some stretching of my neck (I was in a recent car accident), and I experienced intensely blurred vision along with a lot of lights. I had intense pain in my neck. I m not sure how long it lasted, I was completely disoriented. I left feeling very dizzy and nauseous. I had a mild headache all night, and awoke feeling the same. I m still dizzy, my neck is obviously sore, but my vision is seemingly normal. I m worried there could have been vertebral artery damage? What should I do?

It must have compressed your nerves & vessels transiently & caused you the transient blurring of vision. But you are still feeling dizzy till now, I would suggest you get CT?MRI scan done.
