You may want to try going to an Ear Nose and Throat Dr. they can usually point you in the right direction to get this taken care of.
Thank you for the insight. I will keep that in mind. In the past few days, there has been some improvement. I can bend over forward now, and the nausea has subsided. The only thing I can't do yet is tilt my head back.

I've noticed recently that I grind my teeth while I'm sleeping. I wonder if that has anything to do with it since that eustation (sp) tube is so close to the jaw muscles.
