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 ?

It have been 2 months since i have tinnitus, vertigo episode , daily life will felt off balance, queue and standing still is liike a struggle. The first ENT doctor prescribe Betahistine tablets which have little effects then follow up with Sibelium tablets which make you drowsy, couple that with off balance , you are like grounded.
Visit another ENT doctor, he determine my nose nasal passage is quite narrow and this reduce oxygen intake while sleeping with bad snoring and lack of quality sleep which lead to tiredness & restless even after long periods of sleep which are very true.
He prescribed Omnaris Nasal spray & Tebonin Forte 120mg while continue with Betahistine, it show some improvement with these addon. The feeling of off balance is much lesser and the usual pressure in the head is softer too.

Hi Michelemuffin,
I have the same kind of disease. I am now 35 having no HBP, diabetics or any other chronic disease. The problem started some 8 years ago. Following are few of the symptoms of my disease;
1) extreme weakness in my legs: I can not offer my prayers even. When i stand still for prayers, i feel off balance and dizziness starts with in 1 minute and can't stand longer for more than 2 minutes continuously, so i have to give some movement to my body but even that movement doesn't solve the problem.
2) Height phobia: with this disease, I can not look down from any taller building, if i do so i feel giddy.
3) When i prostrate, i feel that i am about to sleep but in actual in can't sleep.
I have been to 2 of the top psychiatrists and used their respective medications for 1 year each but couldn't recover fully. One of them prescribed medications for epilepsy and the other doctor said, it is anxiety but both of the medications didn't work.
I wonder, how will i get rid of this disease. I can't even name this disease but now planning to visit one of the top Neurologist. Let's hope for the best IA.
Thanks,

It all due to my body poor blood circulation, with poor flow of blood, it bring less oxygen to where it needed especially the brain.
From my wife friend recommendation, i visit a chinese medicine practitioner,, from my description of my symptoms, he said it was due to my liver very heaty, lack of water and poor blood circulation, he do some massage on my body pressure points to make the unclog/improve the blood flow, instantly i feel I have better breathing and whole body afresh, eyesight look brighter, the pressure build up in the head is greatly reduced and most importantly my off balance feeling decrease by at least 30%. He also give some herb tablets to consume that help remove the heat or toxin from thr liver.
Now is almost a week since, and my off balance have decrease by at least 70% and no vertigo strike so far(before will encounter vertigo in one or two days once) , i can even stand up queue for more than 10 min which preciously cant even last 10 secs without the need to hold on to someone or static objects nearby, i even start driving today after staying away from the wheel for almost a month.
So you all may try improve your body blood circulation, to check whether it help with the off balance and vertigo or not if medicine doesnt help.

My MRI results also normal.
The first ENT doctor can only prescribe betaserc tablets which not working, and i can feel pressure is building in my head everyday which consequently lead to off balance, dizziness and vertigo.
Second ENT added Tebonin forte 120mg tablets (gingko extract) cos he notice i have poor oxygen intake due to my narrow nose passage. This tablets promote better blood circulation to whole body especially to the brain. This tablets give me some relieve which lead me to find treatment to improve blood circulation in one body. Happen that my wife friends MIL having similar issue as mine and was cured by a chinese medicine practitioner using body pressure point massage to unclog/unblock to promote normal blood flow of the body and taking some herb tablets to clean & remove heat from the liver.
Today is the 11 days since the treatment, now I'm 90% free from off balance feel and can stand in queue for more than 10min, dizziness is gone and didnt experince vertigo after the first treatment.
I will go for my 2nd treatment soon, hopefully can fully cure this menace sickness.
