    Are you dizzy and unbalanced all the time? If,so you need to go back to yr GP and tell them you want to be referred to a Neuro,Otologist,who treat the Vestibular area. ENT's,dont as they do not train in it.

    as you have already seen an ENT you Need to move up the scale. A lot,of,tests done by GPs and ENT's are done to rule things out when they dont really know what it is. So that's your next move,ok

    Consider your neck as the issue. Do you have bad posture? Foward head posture? Your SCM muscle in the neck can give you these problems and tight muscles in general. As your ENT for a VEMP test. It will test your middle ear and the neck muslces. It's easy and painless but not all ENT's can do it so make sure to ask.
