Hello AAAA

You need to consult a neurologist at your place.

The balance of our body is mainly maintained by inner ear and cerebellum. The problem with either of them can cause imbalance. The doctor will ask you other details of the symptom like whether it is continuous or it comes and goes, any direction, position effect etc. And after examination he may ask for a scan of the brain.

You may also need ENT specialist opinion after neurology consultation.

If you have any more queries, I will be happy to answer.

Good luck.
