I was in an auto accident and diagnosed with whiplash of neck back in 1998, now, when I get up, move fast or just turn my head I get dizzy and motion sickness. do I have a bone spur in my neck? it hurts on both sides of my neck when I move my head and now I am having dizzy spells upon getting up and moving too fast. Should I take dramamine?
