Everyday dizziness while walking, standing and feeling unbalanced on my feet.
Posted , 99 users are following.
I have dizziness everyday while walking, standing as well as feeling off balance, unsteady on my feet like I am gonna fall over. I have had my ears checked by an ENT doctor in 2014 and he said I had menieres disease so he treated it as that but medicine didn't help so went to another ENT doctor in 2015 who said I don't have menieres disease but have hearing loss in both ears and did a test on my vestibular function which he said was normal so he referred me to a neurologist and I went and had an MRI done which was normal as well. I have had blood work done in November last year and my white blood count was a little high but not concerning and everything else was normal....no diabetes. Also had a stress test done on heart and was normal. I am at my wits end with this cause I don't know what's going on. I plan to see an eye doctor soon. Oh and I was diagnosed with anxiety 4 months ago but this dizziness and off balance feeling has been going on for 2 years now. I am on blood pressure medicine too. don't know what else to do. Does anyone have these same symptons ?

This issue was also affecting me during my prayers, as I have to stand still during my 5 daily prayers.
Within few seconds or minutes, I would feel like I am going to fall...I would have a pounding heart beat..and until I make a small move or an action..that feeling of imbalance would not go.
I visited a top Neurologist in India. He listened to all my issues.....He is did not ask me do any tests like MRI or balance tests..( which I was expecting )....He asked me to take this medicine call LONAZEP .25 twice daily.....one in the morning and one in the evening
And by the grace of God...the next day...all my symptoms disappeared...Its now 1 month since I am taking this medicine...and I have not seen any side effects....Now I am able to stand still..its a big relief...no more imbalance issues......I hope you guys try this medicine..and see the result yourself...I hope you too get cured........I would be happy to reply. to your questions

Hi all.. lonazep help's control people with seizures and is good for panic attacks.. the problem is I think your only helping to control your symptoms and not getting to the cause of these symptoms. I've been suffering with vertigo for 7 years and have recently been diagnosed with PPPD.. one of the main symptoms of PPPD is depression,anxiety, and panic attacks.. hope this helps...

Hi, I am suffering from 'no balance' for almost 13 years. If i sit, sleep, stand, be in the car, i feel that i will fall, i have a constant feeling like i am in a boat. This is combined with vertigo and panic attack as vertigo is the worst thing someone can experience in this life. In bed i can only sleep on the left side, in the airplane i suffer even more. I cannot do the things that others do thus am constantly getting dizziness, the worst is that people that never felt that, dont understand how i feel and am getting rude comments that make this situation unbearable. I have always in my bag and next to my bed homeopathy medicines that seem to soothe vertigo when it gets me. I suffer from my stomach too and many times there is a connection of the stomach ache to the vertigo. Am still very young and am already suffering for 13 years, i am so scared that along with the other problems you have when you age, i will have this "hell" as well. Still hoping for a miracle and praying to God to cure everyone and vanish this living hell from our lives :'(

Hi Ann,
I used to have this for over a year. I went to the top doctors at UCLA and they told me I had panic disorder. I didn't believe them, because I was convinced something was messed up with my ears. I was born with 40 decibel hearing loss both ears, and thought they got further damaged with age.
Anyway, do you have an official diagnosis from a doctor? Have you been to an ENT to get tested? 13 years seems like a very long time to be going through what you are going.
Have you tried anti-anxiety medication?
Please provide more details, so I can know your situation a little bit better.
Thank you.

I have exactly the same problems that you have mentioned. I think, i should visit a Neurologist before starting this medicine (Lonazep 0.25 mg) myself? I have been taking anti-anxiety pills (citanew 10 mg) for more than 1 year but the disease is still on and off.
Thanks anyway for your post. It helped me somehow and will now go for a doctor.
