Answer 1

1. You may have slept odd causing your neck to stiffen up.


2. The dizziness may be benign positional vertigo. It's caused when residue gets into the "balance tubes" in your ears (there is no ear pain involved). Patients with BPV get dizzy spells when turning their heads in certain directions. It's an extreme dizzy feeling and it lasts for a few minutes (It's more than a head rush from standing up too fast.)
To treat it the doctor will have you turn your head in different directions while tapping on your head around your ear.
You are then supposed to sleep sitting up for a few days to give the residue time to fall out of your ear.

I'm not sure if sleeping wrong would cause BPV but if your head is in a awkward position for a while it makes sense that something might get stuck in your ear chambers.

It's a rare thing. In the first doctor I saw never heard of it.
