How Can Cause Dis Balance During Treadmill Exercise?

Hi - I am a male, 38 years old and a avid runner both outside running and a lot of treadmill running - up to 60 - 70 miles per week. 2 weeks ago I went for my run on the treadmill and I got this un blanace feeling like I was going to fall off the machine. it feels as if though my legs don t want to move while the belt is moving. I have no pain and have been running outside since with no issues. I was able to run on Sunday ok at home on the treadmill but only did 20 minutes not my hour I do every day. Any advise you can give would be great thank you

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthitis or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Cinnarizine preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician).

If it still persists, then you need to consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done.
Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Till then, maintain adequate hydration & proper nutrition status and avoid stress.
And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements.

Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
