Brief Answer:
Autonomic dysfunction, anxiety and stress disorder.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Since MRI and EEG resulted normal, a neurological disorder is excluded as a possible explanation of your symptoms.

Since there is a relationship of the symptoms with different body positions, an autonomic disorder should be considered (postural hypotension for example) and tilt table test is necessary in this case.

If the autonomic dysfunction is excluded by tests, consider anxiety and stress disorder as the most possible cause of your concerns and consult with a Psychologist or Psychiatrist.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.

It is necessary first to be evaluated by your Doctor about this diagnosis and to confirm or exclude it.

can my eyes make me feel off balance? I did a test where they made me sit down took my blood pressure which was 107 and stood up it was 123 which they said I didn't have it in which they said that also shows that I don't have autonomic dysfunction I'm so confused about what's going on with me

Brief Answer:
Eyes play a role in balance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Tilt table test is the main test to evaluate changes in blood pressure.

Balance is a complicated function that requires normal functioning and interaction of different systems such vision (eyes ), inner ear, cervical spinal cord, cerebellum etc.

So, to find the cause of balance problems all these systems should be evaluated about their functioning.

Eyes and eyesight is one of them.

Hope this helps.

Take care.

Brief Answer:
Cardiac monitoring also is necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

Besides tests mentioned before, a 24 hour cardiac monitoring tests (Holter) is necessary to evaluate any palpitations, arrhythmia etc.

Get these tests done in order to achieve a correct diagnosis of your condition.

If these tests don't show any problem, again, anxiety and stress disorder needs to be considered.

Brief Answer:
Yes, Inner ear may contribute too.

Hi again.

As we've discussed before, several factors contribute to balance, inner ear plays an important part in this too.

Again, tests are necessary to achieve a correct diagnosis.

Hope this helps.
