A member asked:
Is there a nerve in my atlas in my neck that could cause a mild aura if tweaked? and causes a brief dizziness and head spinning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bppv: You are likely suffering from a condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo caused by sudden head movements. The dizziness is classic and lasts only 30 secs or less. Occurs with head movements. It can be easily taken care of in an ents office with an eppley maneuver in 80 to 90 % of the cases. Good luck. Hope you feel better. Check it out on the web and see if this is it.
