Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
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.
