What Causes Stiff Neck,insomnia And Numbness In Fingers?

I have had intermitant nose bleeds from the left nostril for up to 18months in the last 5weeks I have had no blood nose symptoms BUT HAVE INSTEAD HAD A DIZZY LIGHT HEADNESS AND VOMITED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I have had breast cancer (two different types of cancer) 5 years ago. I have a stiff neck which is constantly sore, night sweats, insomnia and knumbness in my fingers early morning. Could this be a brain tumor as my Uncle had it and cancer /TB is in my family.?

Hello,

The dizziness is not indicative of a brain tumor. When coupled with the stiff neck, I would conclude about chronic degenerations of the cervical vertebral column (spondylarthrosis). Regarding the numbness in your findings during the night, they are more indicative of a pinched nerve (Carpal Tunnel syndrome).

Anyway, consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam would help reassure that nothing wrong is going on.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
