A member asked:

Can bad posture laying in bed cause muscle tension in the neck with dizziness/vertigo.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Bad posture in bed that impinges on the structures in the neck can do many thing like you suggest. Remember in the neck you are dealing with blood vessels, nerves, muscles & ligaments. If any of them are not able to function well you will pay the consequences.
