| Re: Dizziness and neck ache
Hi, I dealt with this symptom myself and when the muscles in your neck are the cause, heat packs do not do much at all. I would suggest going to a physical therapist who knows how to do soft tissue massage. When your muscles are tensed up this much, they are in a knot, and these knots press on the blood vessels going to the brain, in turn affecting the oxygen and blood flow to the brain causing the dizzy spells. A therapist will be able to pinpoint your problem areas and work on them to get the knots out and releasing the pressure. Exercises can actually make the problem worse because you are stretching muscles that are already tense, then when you are done stretching them ( overuse of them is what usually caused it in the first place ), they tighten back up even more. Exercises usually help only when the knots are gone and this is to keep it from coming back. Good luck to you
