Hi dear ,
As per your query you have difficulty in maintaining balance of body and frequent dizziness , which is also known as vertigo . Well vertigo is a symptom, rather than a condition itself. There can be many reasons for vertigo like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , migraines , labyrinthitis or vestibular neuronitis . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis . Doctor will take history about hearing loss, tinnitus, nausea, vomiting or a feeling of fullness in the ear and order certain test like Dix-Hallpike test , head impulse test and CT scan . Treatment will depend upon the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antihistamines sold as motion sickness pills , physical therapy or sometimes recommend surgery . For now do simple exercises ,sleep with your head slightly raised and avoid bending down to pick up items .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
