Specializes in Internal Medicine

Are you lying on your stomach or back and does it happen when you lie on another hard surface like the floor? is it every time? Neck extended when it occurs? . Would follow up with a neurologist and consider MRA of neck/ head and MRI of cervical spine to check neck vessels, discs, and rare Chiari malformation,
