What Causes Tension Across The Shoulders And Neck Accompanied By Dizziness?

During the past week I have had 6 or 7 episodes of severe tension across my shoulders, up my neck, and into the back of my head accompanied with dizziness and tunnel vision. They have only lasted a couple of minutes and resemble past experiences from working overhead for a long period, only now I have not been doing so. They subside after sitting and resting for a few minutes.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tension across the shoulder with dizziness can be a result of severe cervical spondylosis, which is a degenerative condition. But other conditions like vertigo should also be ruled out. I suggest you take an X-ray cervical spine and review with it and also to consult with an ENT specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
