Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
In December 2015 I had a bad fall and ended up in the trama center. I was released the next day and they said I did not have a brain bleed. This pas year i have not felt like myself I am off balance and have fallen several more times. Should i have another Cat Scan
The reason of loss of body balance may be connected to your cerebellum/internal ear or muscles.
I advise you to visit a neurologist first. Detailed medical history and clinical examination will be necessary.
Do not directly opt for CT scan. MRIAngiography may also be needed. Have an appointment with your doctor for that and let him/her decide which investigations to go for.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shraddha Bhondve,
