[|Human|] Hello I am 72 yrs old Ht 5 feet Slightly over weight.I am suffering from attacke of vertigo especially at night while sleeping and I wake up with sense of every thing revolving around .It persists even if I close my eyes. some times it disappears if I flex my neck to a certain angle but some times it persists for a couple of days .my x-rays show that I have degeneration of spine C-2 to C-6 I also have Lordosis . I am doing regular neck excersizes but it still occurs .I also get spells of dizziness while standing . could all this be due to spondilytis?
[|AI|]  What you have described is description of a classic vertigo. Very rarely it originates because of spondylosis (commonly misspelled as spondylitis, which is infection of the spine). More commonly it can be because of internal ear issues like benign positional vertigo. A visit to an ENT specialist is justified. Also, an opinion of Gen. Medicine/internist to rule out sinister issues of the blood supply of the brain would help rather than seeing an Orthodox.
