Feeling Off Balanced

I suffer from minor epilepsy but in the past few years I start to feel off balanced all of a sudden.  Prime example: I was in a restaurant the other day and I could not even walk out the restaurant in a straight line. If I looked back my eyes felt blurry, my speech goes a bit blurry and I loose concerntration and I go off colour. I had to be helped by my friend to get in a taxi. The customers must of thought I was drunk. I had to explain to the taxi driver I was not drunk and he helped me to my door. I had to sleep it off for the whole day. My body felt exhausted. 

My neurologist thinks it is a type of seizure but it still baffles a lot of doctors. I can’t go on like this it affects my job.

    Greetings from Ecuador, Sonia.

    My name is Freddy A. and I have vertigo since I was a child, I had a strong crisis when I was in high school, I did not move for 15 days, I was lying down because everything was spinning and I did not have balance, my eyes turned disoriented, from there I have panic attacks and sometimes a feeling of floating or dizziness.

    In your case I recommend an MRI of the brain, to check your ear and your heart.

    I send you a lot of positive energy so that you overcome this moment and that you manage to cope with this suffering in your life.

    Apologies my english is not very good.
