Hello!
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the dizziness and imbalance you have may be relate to a cervical spine problem.
It may be just degenerative changes of the bones or the disc, pressing on your vertebral artery which supplies the brain. I would recommend you a xray of cervical column.
Heat procedures and a cervical collar would improve your situation.
I would also recommend betahistine twice daily or cinarizine for the dizziness.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
