I have never had vertigo in my life or any ear problems. After my second cervical procedure (posterior so I was positioned face down) I had a couple of episodes of severe vertigo where I was so off balance I fell (the first time cracking a rib, my rigid collar saved my neck). When a few months down the line I experienced dizzy spells when I changed position I was diagnosed with 'bppv' (benign positional postural vertigo). It's being treated successfully but I've heard that this occurs frequently after surgery especially when your body position is changed when you're asleep. Anyone else experienced this after spinal surgery?
