Introduction
Waking up with dizziness, headache, and soreness in the waist and back may be caused by factors such as catching a chill, myofascial inflammation of the back muscles, or ankylosing spondylitis, and treatment should be targeted according to the specific cause. In addition to these relatively common causes, other conditions such as lumbar muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, or rheumatoid arthritis could also be responsible. If you experience any discomfort, you should seek medical attention promptly for evaluation and timely treatment.

Waking up with dizziness, headache, soreness and pain in the waist and back may be caused by factors such as catching a chill, myofascial inflammation of the lumbar and back muscles, or ankylosing spondylitis. Targeted treatment should be provided based on the specific underlying cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Catching a chill

During sleep, if proper warmth is not maintained and the body is exposed to cold air, one may catch a chill, which can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and soreness or pain in the waist and back. These symptoms may be relieved by drinking more warm water or through sauna therapy.

2. Myofascial inflammation of the lumbar and back muscles

Myofascial inflammation refers to an aseptic inflammation of the fascia. When affected by this condition, inflammation may trigger pain in the lower back and back area, which often worsens upon waking in the morning. Dizziness and a feeling of head heaviness may also occur. Under medical guidance, medications such as celecoxib capsules or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets may be taken to relieve symptoms.

3. Ankylosing spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis may affect the spine, causing morning back pain and stiffness after waking up. If the cervical spine is involved, symptoms such as dizziness and head heaviness may appear. Medications such as methotrexate tablets or thalidomide tablets may be taken according to medical advice for symptom relief.

In addition to the above relatively common causes, other conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, cervical spondylosis, or rheumatoid arthritis could also be responsible. If discomfort symptoms occur, timely medical evaluation and treatment are recommended to avoid delays in diagnosis and management.
