Cervicogenic headaches and dizziness - self management and long term outcome?

[Fiona Mellor]

Thanks will take a look. I was tested for BPPV which was negative at the time of the test. Re: blood sugar levels - the mild dizziness seems to come along at any time of day regardless of when I've last eaten, the debilitating vertigo however has been on a morning when waking up so blod sugar could be an issue not yet thought of. How can I self test blood sugar to find out?

I'm suffering this morning hence my research online before I can see the chiro, last night I ate late as usual (about 9pm), nothing out of the ordinary -veg sausages in bread and treacle tart. I was already suffering from the headache at thsi point (came on at 6pm).

That post was very useful indeed, a 'self test' of lying on my right side with my head off the end of my bed and turned to the floor is causing the room to spin massively - not so obvious on the left however (a little bit but no where near as obvious as on the right). I've just attempted the self help ebley manouvre but I cannot stand to lay on my back with my head extended and to the right - that really brings on the vertigo - but now I know what movement is aggravating it I can avoid that for the day and attempt to get on with stuff. I've still got the headache today too (3/10 after paracetamol) - are they both linked or is the BPPV related to my ears and the headache to a tense neck?

Hopefully seeing the chiro tomorrow will help. Would like ideas on what can I do to stop it happening in the future though if anyone has any.

Thanks indeed.
