Unbalanced And unstaediness

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

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.

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.   :'(

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.
