Unbalanced And unstaediness

[Ant88]

For the past 2 years I have been dealing with feeling unbalanced and unsteady. The problem is constant but makes itself more noticed when I am in shooping malls or other stores. I had fainted once before and was awaken by a stranger who told me that someone was trying to rob me. Anyways do you have any suggestions as to why I would be feeling like this. I have gone to have a test done (ENG), They mentioned that my left ear was less responsive than my right. Could this be the cause of my unbalance or unstaedy feeling? I also have a MRI dont today but I am still waiting for my results. Any info you cn provide would help greatly.

Thanks

Go to a holistic doctor get a c4a blood test for CIRS and mold toxicity most medical practitioners are unaware of this test for inflammation and are willing to settle for "well everything appears normal". Your symptoms are not acceptable or normal.

You are definitely not alone. Sometimes I feel like I am loosing my mind with these crazy symptoms! :(

I suddenly (over night) developed a lot of these same  symptoms with no answers as of yet,like most of you. I have been "sick"for 3 months straight ,some days much worse than others.I am beginning to wonder if ,since so many of us are sick, if it isn't  our food /water supply in these days of so many chemicals and pollution. There seems to be no answers from ENT or  neurology :(  !

I know this is years later. I go through very similar, did you get any help? ***@****

I would definitely consider anxiety here.  I'm also having similar symptoms as you.  I'd say your life has given you plenty to be anxious about considering this just started after the birth of your 4th child.  And no, you may not know that you are anxious because it's hard sometimes to realize how our minds normally think.  We don't consider that having a very full to overflowing plate, like you have right now, could possibly be causing us anxiety we aren't even acknowledging right now.  It could be that up until now you've been managing it so far and thought everything was alright until a weird symptom happened.  Then panic hits and we think it's everything else in the world wrong with us except what it really is....which is panic.  

There is a physiological component underlying it which has everything to do with nutrition.  When these symptoms first started with me, I was only eating out every single meal.  My diet was pretty crappy.  I had a Vit D deficiency and a magnesium deficiency too.  But even my doctors didn't know this.  It wasn't until I ASKED for the Vit D blood test that I found it out.  And after I began taking the Magnesium, I noticed an improvement in my symptoms.  But it was slow.  Just improving my diet overall helped over time.  So you have to look at the big picture which includes how nutritious your diet is.  Hope this helps.

Hi guys. I'm sorry to hear your all going through this. I've been suffering from anxiety for 2 years and I'm 23 years old. It started off as heart palpitations, then full head pressure feeling, hot flushes, panic feeling, derealiseation feeling or in a dream state, this year I've been getting muscle spasms, shaky eyes, pins and needs in my arms, sometimes I even wake up trembling. I sleep well and I eat well but am very stressed at work at all times.!the worse symptom lately is the off balance feeling I was in hospital last night for it. It's terrible.i had a mri 6months ago and numerous blood tests, I'm not sure what it is but I'm thinking a virus has made it worse as of late. We were all once healthy !! Stick in there guys !!

[chilli757]

It's not in your head ! It's real. I have felt unbalance for the last 6 months, sometimes I stumble. Had a cat scan, blood work,family doctor, ER, Eye exam, Ear,nose and throat specialist with no results. I have had a stiff neck and shoulders, my doctor said I need a Massage Therapist, he also told me to drink more water, dehydration could cause this also and the tight neck muscles can restrict blood flow and oxygen to the brain. So we'll see, only been a few days..

[erickson9]

I have the same symptoms. . I feel best when I first wake up but being up for a few mins I start to feel the unbalance-ness come on, then sometimes im ok.. and then my heart starts to race.. and I think this is it..Im dying.  Also when I go shopping its horrible! The heart beating , the dizziness , feel like im going to passout. I got blood work done and everything was normal, So everyone is saying its anxiety,  Anxiety is that bad? So instead of getting on anti-depressants I started taking mood boost, samE , St. Johns Wort, Magnesium. Also I started losing my hair , Alopecia. So I have a bald spot.. not that big but big enough. I had a panic attack while driving..so now Im like DAMN! I cant drive either? I do sound like a big cry baby.I dont know what else to do but to get on some strong meds.. are there any persons out there feeling like this too? Is this all in my head? Or should I got get examined?  I was thinking of doing acupuncture. Im willing to try anything before getting on prescribed meds.

I had the same symptoms of unbalanced n dizziness.  Vitamins B1, B6, n B12 helped me somewhat but the one that helped me big was the antianxiety pills for 3 months.  Also prayers worked.

[gerriosb]

I am experiencing similar symptoms. Came in suddenly in work when I suddenly felt very dizzy. Gp says vertigo caused by virus,started on stemitel. Started feeling better but out in shopping centre one day and symptoms became worse,back to gp who changed tablets to betahistine which helped for a while. Referred to ent but still awaiting appointment. Have been off work since March and am fed up,also experiencing tingling in tongue,difficulty swallowing at times and foggy feeling in head. Does anyone else experience this. Am trying to stay positive as I've 2 young kids but it gets u down

I woke up one morning   did my normal routine.....  got out of shower and turned my head and had a major dizzy spell....  not spinning but unbalanced..  seriously I thought I was having a stroke.    I sat down   and was ok  ..... speech was good   no more dizziness   just felt a bit unbalanced.     I went to my doc    he did a an exam on me and said  he thought it was just a vertigo thing....  since  ive had tons of congestion and pressure in my right ear     saw a ent and he thought it was a virus .....  one minute im good    the next I feel like im sitting in a fog....  this is awful....  I believe I have anxiety because I react to the symptoms......  any suggestions.........  how long does a virus last ?

[hope63]

well I have been to the doctor many times for this and nothing what about your heart rate

[hope63]

yes I have been to the doctor many times for this and all she said that I had vertigo

[shellyrhea]

OMG!  I am going through this exactly.  I had a baby 3 months ago and 30 minutes after her birth I developed an aweful headache and neck pain.  I have been in and out of doctor's offices since then and have developed a dizzy feeling constantly along with tightening of my tounge muscles.  I have had every test known to man.... well probably not, but a lot..... and they tell me I am fine.  I have severe headaches on my right side of my head, dizzy feeling to where I feel like my head is so heavy and leans to the right.  Things do not spin abour me, but I feel very rocky if you know what I mean.  I too continue to think that there is something wrong with my brain and heart.... but I have been diagnosed with anxiety.... I don't feel anxious!  I feel dizzy..... and it is really starting to make me angry.  I have 4 kids and cant take care of them like I want to.... I cry all the time!  I have gone to an ENT, Neurologist, had an MRI, heart EKG, blood tests, hearing test, eye exam..... and nothing.  I have been back to my neurologist 4 times, my GP 7 times my OBGYN 3 times and talk to whoever will listen to me about this..... I am scared, I don't want my babies to have to grow up without a mommy!!!!  Not sure what to do.

Did you ever figure out the cause of your symptoms? My symptoms are very similar to yours and started suddenly too. I also have a toddler and it's miserable to feel like this all the time.

[Luvyem]

I have had an imbalance problem for 4years! It's progressively getting worse. It's terrifying and destroying my life. I can't accept it's anxiety. It can only be physical in my mind. Anxiety symptoms are a lot less severe aren't they!
My worst symptoms are- left sided chest pain/palpitations on rest and exertion, feeling like I can't breathe, flushing sensation, bad imbalance/rocking sensation that leads me to become extremely lightheaded.

I have had lots of tests and been to AnE 36 times with this! It makes me feel that bad and so debilitating. I first though it was anxiety, but how can it be. It simply can't make you feel so SEVERE. The main two areas that concern me are my heart and brain. It's becoming a joke. I have seen many specialists and everything's normal. It is put down to migranal vertigo. But all the time...... It's stops me doing all the things I want to do and I'm really struggling. Feels like a either a tumor or heart problem to me NOT anxiety.   :'(

[SEV1960]

I developed high blood pressure at 52 years of age.  I was put on a blood pressure pill by my gp. All of a sudden I had sever headaches and was really dizzy.  My heart rate increased to 202 beats per minute.  All of a sudden a cardiologist diagnosed me with afib.  put me on meds.  heart rate and blood pressure now good after 2 tries, but still so dizzy I feel like the old time bobble heads.  Tried all the vertigo exercises.  no good.  Cardiologist is now sending me to ent to see if there is any inner ear issues that cause the dizziness and imbalances.

[Mvltcl]

I have bppv on both sides (positional vertigo) Im getting treated for that but i also have a lot of other medical problems including pins n needles in all extremities, artheritis and have had a lumber fusion. I suffer from unbalancing and veering to my right, my coordination is not good i over shoot steps etc when I walk I feel top heavy as if my body continues when I stop its a weird feeling. Does anyone have any ideas

[REG101]

i am very unbalanced only when walking and standing, i got a burning sensation behind my left eye when waking my eye was completely red.  i feel dizzy and nautious and yet i have an apetite. if anyone feels the same  as i do please give me some feed back.

I look forward to reading your response.

[brewoo]

WHO ARE THE DOCTORS  WHERE ARE THEY AND WHAT DO THEY DO?  HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO FEEL BETTER?

[mtk64]

Whatever this is it starts in the ear, and then the unbalance feeling appears,
even the woozy eye movement comes later
But something starts the ear infection.
This may be infectious, check those that are close to you. see hoe they feel
The medical profession may not be aware of the causes yet, but this appears to be in to many places.

[feelingverysick]

I am having the same kind of issues that you all are having and cannot seem to get any help. I am going to try some of what you guys are saying because i have no other options.

I am a 77-year-old male who suffers from light-headedness. I also have myasthenia gravis, but light-headedness is not a sympton of that auto-immune disease. 2 1/2 years ago I contracted a head cold which soon turned into the flu, and that is when the light-headedness began. It was not too bad, but lately it is worse. I  ran a low-grade temperature for 6 days. No medical treatment helped me at all. My civilian MD did all kinds of tests, but found nothing to cause the light-headedness. I have two types of tinitus, one is a high pitched sound for the last 30 years, and one is a rumbling sound like far away traffic which I have had for 7 years. My VA MD says that this type of condition is virtually impossible to diagnose, much less treat it. It is not life threatening, but those of us who have it, find it really diminishes our life because we worry that it might be something serious. BUT I have had it this long, but my health otherwise is fine. LIve and bear it?

Did anyone just wake up and find that they were unable to walk? I had to hang onto the walls to walk. I have had every test done imaginable and no one can tell me why I feel so unbalanced and feel like I am leaning to the right. No way can I go into big bright stores. My leg just freezes up and I can't get my body to move. Some neurologists say that I got a viral infection (white count was way low). I feel so much in a brain fog. Hard to work like this. It is all that I think about wondering what happened to me.

Greetings,

Mine arose as suddenly as yours and progressively got worse. If you contact them, they will evaluate the probability that they may be able to help you. I was very skeptical, sounded to good to be true. The doctor personally called me and had a patient contact me to discuss the similar symptoms and give me some reassurance. I had nothing to lose, except a five hour drive. She did not need a patient from Canada to make more money, as I am sure there are plenty in the USA. She just wanted to help and knew she could and did. Give them a call. If it's not for you, at least you made the effort.

p.s. I also had the eye movement test (nystagmus) and went to my optometrist for his opinion and help. He was wrong, she was right. What can I say.

Regards,

lognum
