What to do if ears ringing, stiff neck, headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult Dr. ASAP: Although it could be simply a virus or musculoskeletal problem (esp. upper neck vertebral dsyf) causing this symptom complex, severe stiff neck w/headache can also be meningitis, brain bleed, etc.Rule these out immediately.If illness/bleeding is not the cause, consider osteopathic exam to find neurologic or muscoloskeletal cause(s).These may be treatable by manipulation, meds, or other care.
