Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Lose Of Balance
I am 66 yrs old male. I had undergone cholesteotomy operation 6 years back on my right ear and I think my balancing mechanism had been removed due to heavy infection. For the past few months I feel dizzy while walking and sometimes even feel like falling loosing balance. The surgeon who operated gave some exercises but they don t seem to help much. My BP is 150/80, and taking tablets for that. I consulted one neurologist and he said because this problem is not age related but ENT related, not much can be done to improve. Is there any remedy available for this problem?

Hello,
First, it's necessary to get a correct diagnosis. A recurrent inner ear infection may be considered as a possibility. Imaging studies such as MRI of the brain, shouldn't give the necessary information about the diagnosis. Discuss with your doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
