Please share about severe cervical spinal stenosis

Hello my name is LeighAnn and I am knew here, just needing someone to talk to me and help me to know that I am not alone. For the past few years I have known about my problem in my c4, c5, and c6 area in my next but it seem to have gotten worst over the last few months. If I move around too much like cleaning or moving things around I start getting nauseated to the point of having to vomit and then for awhile my stomach stays nauseated and I am either vomiting or sitting on the stool doing you know what and afterwards I get this fullness feeling in the back of my head that is terrible and feels like so much pressure is building in my head and it makes me afraid to even lay down at night. The tingling and heat sensation that goes from my neck area to down my left arm into my fingers are very scary. Just need to know if other people are going through this

@jehovahgod1 Hello LeighAnn. Welcome to Connect. With cervical spine issues there can also be muscles spasms that start shifting the vertebrae. Inside the cervical vertebrae are the vertebral arteries that supply part of the brain. If those arteries are getting kinked or stretched because the vertebrae are in a bad position, it may cause nausea and vertigo.
That would happen to me prior to my spine surgery because my vertebrae were rotating on their own without me turning my head. It all calmed down after spine surgery to decompress my spinal cord from the pressure of a herniated disc. Something like this isn’t going to get better on it own and because every signal from the brain to the body moves through the neck, it can affect other parts of the body and affect function. Some patients end up in wheelchairs and become incontinent when spinal cord damage happens from compression.
Are you seeking an opinion from a spine surgeon? It’s important to get answers and know what the future may be and what choices you can make to prevent disability.
