Everyday dizziness while walking, standing and feeling unbalanced on my feet.

Hi. Sorry about what you have experienced. This is not a very good feeling. I actually have similar symptoms and am currently on medication. I have negative pressure in my left ear and this is the cause of the feeling.

Check your Thyroid function, In my case TSH was high, after taking medicine the symptoms drastically reduced

I'm going though this now. It started about a mth ago. It's really fustrating. I just did antibiotics for middle ear infections but I'm still dizzy

I had all the symptoms mentioned by different users here.

My symptoms from past 9 years

1. Dizziness 24/7

2. Lack of balance

3. Unable to concentrate

4. Gastric,constipation and chest disturbance

5. continous mild head aches

6. shortness in breath

7. Not able to eat stomach full. Upon  eating some food, i used to feel heaviness

8. Stress/tension/nervousness even for everything

9. Sudden dizziness,visual disturbance while driving,walking which result in Panic/anxiety

I visited many specialists(neuro,ENT,Cardio,Eye) in past 8 years and spent so much of money just to identify the root cause. Every report was normal.

Common answer from doctors was STRESS and migraine. But i did not have any real stress.

I thought something wrong with my stomach which might be causing these problems, so i visited a gaestroenterologist(Veerendra sandur from Fortis bangalore).

Upon hearing all my problems patiently, he asked me to take Vitamon B12,D,CBL(not sure what it is) tests .

B12--170 (deficient)

D--11(Highly deficient). 

Doctor prescribed me B12 Injections along with Vitamin tablets for 3 months. Also he did Endoscopy and biopsy in my stomach to check any problem with absorption in body, both were normal.

Within just one week after taking B12 injection(neuron forte) and other vitamin tablets i started feeling very comfortable. Its been 3 weeks since i started taking medication for these vitamins, i am almost 60% recovered.

So, please visit any doctor and ask for B12,D and blood examination before going for any other procedures.

Since i am very much relieved of my problems  after struggling for 9 years, i am putting a lengthy answer here.

U can reach me if need any info.

Mu story is very similar but in addition to this i have weakness in my feet and lef side of body...getting worst with time..I was diagnosed with PPPD or subjective dizzines..look in imternet.

Hi there, I just saw your post on Patient.info website about dizziness. I too, have hearing loss in both ears and suddenly got this dizziness you speak of. Did you find anything that was helpful since the time has passed? Praying you have some good news for me. Thanks!

I have suffered from periodic vertigo outbreaks, every 4-5 years. Hard to diagnose but most likely due to herpes simplex 1 type virus infection in my inner ear... I found out that antiviral remedies work well for me (better within one day!!!). More specifically: L-lysine (1,000 milligrams three times daily), echinacea tea, 1-3 raw garlic cloves/day, mushroom based immune boosting supplements. 

If you google natural viral remedies (for herpes virus) you will find other options such as:   elderberry, calendula, astragalus and licorice root.

On the same note stay away from nuts, oats, coffee and chocolate ... (Again, perform a google search on what foods to avoid for herpes outbreaks)... Those foods indeed flared back up my vertigo when I thought I was better...

Good luck all!

I also suffered with same symptoms for more than 10 years. same to you I also went to many doctors to check my sugar, blood pressure, heart checkup, etc. and all of them saw no problem. Until 2 years ago one doctor diagnosed me that I have panic disorder. The panic disorder make me feel dizzy 24 hours a day 7 days a week. So the doctor prescribed Sertraline for 6 months. The first two weeks of medication makes the thing worse. The doctor said that it is normal. So I made a research for the answer and I found out that it is because the medicing increases my serotonin level. So I suggest that you research about serotonin and you will found out that it is a life saver for anxious people. I already stop taking the medicine. My only advise is if you are a coffee drinker or cola drinker or any beverage contains caffeine please stop it. Instead of coffee, drink hot chocolate (dark chocolate), and eat food that contain cheese (eg. Pizza). Dark chocolate has a lot of serotonin.  

Same to. For 3 years. No balance, unsteady, dizzieness, vertigo  (but no feeling of sickness) had a number of MRI’s + Dat scan and lumbar puncture (spinal tap) blood tests and nerve tests all come back clear? I had a contaminated flu jab 2 years ago and prescribed Tramadol (for a bad back) 3 years ago, felt bad ever since plus I constantly sneeze plus I have a runny nose. I’m onto my 4th Neurologist now who says I’ve got MSA?? (diagnosed without the other symptoms?) my GP dosent agree and has redirected me to another Neurologist. I know how you feel though, every step is like my shoes are made the shape of Toblerone‘s. I wonder if a flu virus cause balance issues? 

Dear michele, 

                        Am from India, me too suffering from same issue for past 2 years, We all are missing out something which should be unique to all ..even i tool medicines seems no use at all. One thing we all should do is to narrow down the issue by posting our all health related issue. i have cervical spondylitis.

Some where is studied that  Eye could be the root cause. vertical heterophoria is kind of pron that has same symptoms that we have. All of them confirm that you all have same problem that i have listed below,if yes sure eye is the problem

1.Eye Feels Dull for flash lights

2.Feel to close the eye very tight often

3.Dizzy while seeing moving objects

4.Feel dizzy while seeing  moving objects

5.Difficult to walk if an obstacles in the path  

Coming week am going to check my eye 

Hi, I am 28 and have been suffering from imbalance for past 9 months. Earlier it was manageable but now it has become severe, suffering every day, minute . I have done Brain, Neck MRI, Audiometry,pressure tests. Consulted a GP, Neurologist, Cardiologist, ENT, Orthopaedic. Neurologist suggested vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Orthopaedic suggested i totally stop using smart phones. Cardiologist suspected labyrinthitis and referrefd to neurologist. ENT put me on 1 month medication and finally said I need to take injection in ear. I am too clueless as to why no doctor is able to diagnose the root cause. I am having mild hypertension and cervical spondylosis. please let me know if someone finds solution.
