Hanging head off the bed for too long?

2023-12-01 15:38:25
I was lying down on the bed and hanging only my head & neck off the edge off the bed to relieve neck pain. I lost track of time and did it for 8-9 minutes at a stretch. When I got up suddenly I felt dizzy because of the blood rush. Is it dangerous to do it for this long? Could something happen to me? How long should I do this exercise for? Very very grateful for any advice!

Instead of hanging head & neck for 8-9 minutes, do it for 5 minutes only. Do rotation of neck clockwise and anti clock wise, bending of neck against pressure. Lie without pillow or use thin pillow. Shoulder exercises are also must with it.
