Hello,

As per your clinical history, is concerned please follow like this-
1) Do a clinical examination by your doctor [Neurologist] and do an MRI scan to ruled out any pathological change.
2) Discuss with your treating doctor about prescription medication like [Amitriptyline], and you need it regularly.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this-
1) Fasten your seat belt whenever you're traveling in a car.
2) Use helmets whenever you are bicycling, roller-skating, in-line skating, ice-skating, skiing, snowboarding, playing football, batting or running the bases in softball or baseball, skateboarding, or horseback riding. Wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.
3) Take steps around the house to prevent falls, such as improving lighting and installing handrails.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
