Feels like im walking on a boat

Hello everyone. For the past few weeks since my daughter has been born, ive been experiencing a sensation of walking pn a boat. It started a few days after I came home from the hospital. I had this same problem after I had my son in june 2010 and it went away in the end of august and I never knew the cause. Does anyone know what can cause this? Its a horrible feeling and hard to function witj it. I also get pressure and tingling in my head pain behind my left eye and pain in my left ear also get really bad headaches. Im hoping it will go away sooner than afew months. If snyone has any advice I really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Thank goodness you got a diagnosis for what is wrong with you.  I wasn't thinking BPPV because none of your complaints posted here were vertigo with head movements, however, it is great you are being helped and treated.  

Do the Vestibular Rehabilitation and go from there.  It might take some time for this to resolve, however, don't give up and hang in there.

Ill def make sure. I hope hes a good neuro & can figure out whats wrong. Im also feeling a bit better today too. More energy less headache and the feeling of being on a boat comes and goes thru out the day. Last time when I had it it was constant for almost 3months so im glad its not as bad this time but id still like to feel 100% normal real soon!

Make sure the Neurologist does or you get the:

1. the Vestibular testing-this checks the inner ear

2. the MRI of the brain/head WITH contrast.  

He may order more labs as well.  

Keep me posted dear.  I am glad you are feeling a bit better.
