Vertigo: sounds like vertigo usually caused by viral labrynthitis.  supportive measures are key.  if persistent , get checked by your doctor.  meclizine helps in this condition as well.

Question 5

i do usually feel a reactions, movement and sometimes heaviness in my head any time i masturbate and i do masturbate once a day and not every each day (2-3 times a week). what should i do please?

Keep it simple: There are at least 2 types of headaches triggered by sexual activity. Best would be to slow down and not masturbate for a while.

Question 6

i have random, involuntary shivers that shake my head and shoulders. not cold. sometimes d/t air movement (like a fan). friend concerned. should i be?

Accepted Answer

Probably OK: Many people experience various reactions to the environment that can't be explained precisely. This calls for avoiding or minimizing exposure to them if possible. They often just go away as mysteriously as they arrived, but if this persists and becomes a concern of yours you owe yourself at least one thorough neurologic exam by your doctor.

Question 7

i have weird involuntary movement of my head, what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Tourette or dystonia: Tourette syndrome may cause this as does some types of cervical dystonia and torticolis.

Question 8

what cause chest pain worse with front or back head movement?

Accepted Answer

Not specific enough: I'm afraid that your symptoms are not specific enough to make a diagnosis over the internet. Most cardiac issues are not related to head movement but sometimes vascular issues are. Musculo skeletal strain is the most likely cause but if the symptoms are new or you are particularly worried about this then it would be worthwhile seeking a medical evaluation as soon as possible.

Question 9

what else can cause dizziness upon head movement besides bppv?

Accepted Answer

Dizziness: Etiology (cause) of dizziness is very broad. If you are having symptoms, I recommend a consult with one of the HealthTap docs, or with your personal physician.

Question 10

involuntary movement of head and shoulders just has movement getting worse

Accepted Answer

I'm : I'm sorry but this question is difficult to answer over the internet. What you need to do is to see a neurologist interested in movement disorder who will be able to diagnose the problem after seeing it. It could be any number of things that are potentially treatable. Good luck.
