For the last 2 weeks I have been Off Balance , I sway a bit when I walk and I am very unsteady when I am standing still . It never goes away until I am sitting down staright with my feet up or when I am sleeping .
I have no Dizziness ,Spinning Sensations , Nausea
Do I have Vertigo ?
Would advise you see your GP as it could be something other.
Ive been to my GP twice already . Because He syringed my ear .
Thats looking like the culprit here . Im off to the ENT on wednesday also.
sounds like more than a coincidence doesn't it? I thought they'd stopped syringing ears as it was dangerous and only did it as a last resort nowadays.
Exactly Anne . Too much of a coincidence .
Ireland has only got one place in the whole country that does Ear Suction [safer option].
Unbelievable for a population of nearly 5 million
It sounds to me you may be starting with Vertigo,or you have an infection,you should nothave your ears shrynged nowadays I have my ears suctioned cleaned twice a year.
My advice would be NOT to syringe at all until you've had a hearing test (spec savers do them free)! If your ears are blocked they will say then clear them only with OOil for two weeks very night alternately. I would lay on one side put two drops in and the go to sleep to let it percolate into the wax. It will then ease out on it's own. One month later have your hearing test. The Dr. may try infection route first then ENT. I've got to wait until end February for my appmt!
Hi John, I'll just like to share with you that I m currently experiencing the exact symptoms as you. the doc has prescribed me with some iron pills because he felt that my iron level was a bit low. It s helped a bit but the sensation of unsteadiness occasionally bothers me. Perhaps you may want to consult a doctor..?
Cheers
