Thanks for the quick response. The location in Ohio is too far for me. I will talk with my primary care physician and go from there.
By the way I do not lift my husband he still can make it to the bathroom and back. I don't know what triggered it. It started with not being able to find a comfortable pillow and got worst. Thanks again.

@nsainato Nadia, it is probably the position of your neck when sleeping that is starting the issues. That happens to me if my neck is not properly supported. Your primary care doctor can send you to physical therapy, but before that, they should get some imaging to rule of spine instability because that can be dangerous if someone works on your neck if it is unstable. My PT also does myofascial release which helps a lot by loosening the tightness in my neck. That is specialized training and you can search for a provider at https://www.mfrtherapists.com/

Here is our discussion about myofascial release therapy for information.

If your doctor wants to consult Mayo, they can do that. There is a place on the Mayo website for medical professionals to consult specialists there.

I hope that information helps!

Hi I was sent to therapy for vertigo. They had me lay on one side, shook my head and sat me up. Almost fell off the bed. Next morning threw up 4 2 days straight and tinnitus started. This was after Labor Day. ENT doctor did MEI and found a meningioma. Not a good way to find our. I keep thinking if I did not go to therapy I would of been better off with the start of this terrible symptom of tinnitus. I don’t think she should of shook my head back forth trying to get the crystals back in the canals. I never and will not go back.
