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.
I have had balance problems for yearsand always felt the problem was centered below.my waist. Recent MRIs of ny head and spine, though showing arthritis of advanced degree, according to my doctor did explain my problem. Do you have any other ideas that would cause side to side staggering which is worse some days than others?
If symptoms persist, better to consult a neurologist and plan for an MRI brain to rule out possible intracranial (inside the brain) causes. As a first line management drugs like Betahistine may be tried.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
