ive been going to a chiropractor once every 2 weeks for a year now

and yes it has worked great. i had terrible posture, forward neck,

hunch back and now 80 percent of that is fixed.

 

Ive been doing this neck exercise where you put a mask like thing on

with a 5 pound ball hanging off of it and you lie on your back and

lean off the bed a little.

 

Ive been doing it for 2 months with no problems, but after

thursday.. I got up after doing it and i almost passed out and i was

very dizzy and had like a vertigo feeling whatever that is.

 

It happened again saturday after doing ab crunches. I also get

dizzy if i bend forward and lean over and my left ear does ring a

little . it has been ringing for ten years but with the chiro

adjustments about 50 percent of that went away. Its hard to explain

if its a almost passed out feeling, dizziness, vertigo, glazed eyes,

offbalance because ive never passed out or been dizzy before ever.

 

But about 20 percent of that has came back and i also get a dizzy

like

 

So do i have ear trouble, stroke symptoms,, is it a part of the

healig process. Did i overdue the stretching , thanks for any help.

 

I will see him again on tuesday and tell him

Chris,

 

Although I have no real answers for you, as a

matter of fact, I was just going to ask advise

for a similar problem a dear friend of mine has.

 

I spoke to her last night after she was absent

since Thursday. She describes similar problems like you are experiencing.

Thursday afternoon, she became dizzy, feeling

nauseated and thought that she might have to go

outside, fresh air. She decided to go shopping

after lying down made things much worse.

 

Her next memory is of waking up on the stretcher

in the emergency dept., totally blacked out. The

doctors have no idea what caused it.

She still has the dizziness and noticed that if

she lies down in a particular

way, it worsens to the degree she is scared.

Indicating the right side of her neck is side

which appears to make things worse.

 

I reminded her that she had this happening about

18 months back. When it happened then, I

suggested to her to have a cup of tepid water

with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (she

didn't have the tincture) followed by some extra

water, and also to have extra magnesium. This

must have worked well because she never followed

my suggestion to go and see a doctor at that time.

 

The scare of last Thursday (and not remembering

what she had done 18 months back, cayenne and

magnesium) she is seeing a manual therapist to

determine if something is pinched in her neck.

 

My question to the forum here is: has anyone

got more experience with this which sounded like

a mini stroke (Transient Ischaemic Attack or

TIA) to me or restricted bloodflow (carotid artery)?

What suggestions could be given to her if

today's therapist fails to come up with a clearer diagnosis?

 

Thanks

Hanneke

Seems to me Jane recently mentioned either her DH or a friend passed out

when their neck was turned a certain way. I think she said she thought

the carotid artery was pinched , and not enough blood flow. Sounds as the

chiros have twisted the neck in such a way that something has

gotten pinched. Only thing that really makes sense.......many years ago,

I sat with my arms bent, on a hard surface, hand to chin. Something went

funny, and every since then when I bend my arms for any period, the

last three fingers on my hand go numb. From what both people have said,

definitely sounds as though a cause and effect sort of thing....

I had to

quit going to the Chiropractor, as the adjustment to the neck caused me

to be dizzy. I started taking Natures Life Magnesium plus

B6 500 mg a day The dizziness gradually went

away, About 2 weeks ago I went and he adjusted the neck and right

away I was dizzy. I do also use other things I am positive that the

magnesium is what I needed.
