What Do Dizziness And Loss Of Balance Indicate?

Most probable cause of recurrent slowing
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. It is good that you have described your history very thoroughly. I was able to understand that your past problem was imbalance due to external ear block. It might have lead to increased pressure in middle ear and thus vestibular system. Vestibular system is the system which deals with the balance of the body.
Now you are having most probably "Aura like symptoms". These are those mild unnatural experiences which hint towards something bad is happening or going to happen. I think this is what you wanted to mention!
Now what you can do, is consult doctor. Ask him to check your vestibular and cerebellar function properly. He will do
: Dynamic visual acuity
: Hallpike manœuvre
: Romberg test
: Co-ordination
: Gait
All these tests will help in ruling out any serious damage. If they come normal, then no need to worry, your symptoms will disappear soon. You can also take
: Tablet betahistine, Cinnarizine combination after proper prescription, to treat your mild symptoms.
: Also get your blood pressure and sugar checked to rule out low BP and diabetes.
If everything comes negative and still you have symptoms, you might be having
: Transient ischemic attacks
: Autonomic disturbance
This can be due to atherosclerosis of brain supplying vessels. It can be ruled out by ultrasound doppler study of vessels. You can discuss it with your doctor if there is any doubt.
Hope it will help you. If still in doubt, do let me know.
Thanks. Take care
