Do any of you get really light headed and have pain in the back of your neck? I have been in a lot of horse accidents so i dont know if its just my accidents or something to do with bipolar. I can tell when im going to have a episode when my neck starts hurting and i get really light headed. This could just be my accidents, but what about anyone else. Light headed and neck pain??

I suffered a closed head head injury and the pain in my neck is a precourser to a series of migraines and depresion.

They say that neckaches can be traced to bipolar; however, not so sure about the lightheadedness, still learning myself. I am glad that both you and Matt are okay though and your head injuries were not more serious *hugs*

I get serious neck pain... only do very light yoga and that seems to help w/the pain. My meds cause me to feel lightheaded at times...

The number one cause of light headedness is dehydration, however with your significant medical history you may not be getting enough blood into the head and brain areas. I would highly recommend you get an MRI or a CT scan to evaluate the possible damage. I don't want to scare you but your doctor should rule out a brain aneurysm.

Emotional ups and downs can cause physical pain. Also so do meds, But many horse accidents cause pain too. Check it out with the doctor.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
