Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring vertigo with tight shoulder and back . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like overuse of muscles , muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, poor posture and ear problem like otitis media . Sometimes condition like cervical spondolysis and trigger points of trepezius muscles can also cause pain and swelling . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor will as you for certain movements , examine physically and order x-ray , CT scan and MRI . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , along with vitamin supplements and recommend physical therapy . Also consult ENT specialist for ear problem .For now apply dry warm compresses to upper back , ear and neck and use cervical pillow. Also take anti emetic drug and avoid bending forward.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
