Taken B12 Supplements To Treat Bouts Of Disequilibrium. Chest X Rays And Blood Tests Are Normal. What Does This Mean?
Have had two bouts of disequilibrium, each lasting more than a month and there was two months between bouts. Also get flight or fight feelings causing me to stop whatever I'm doing and just go home to calm down. Went to ER once recently and they did EKG chest x-rays and tons of blood work but found no problems. Tried B-12 supplements and they helped for a few days but now have no effect. When I wake up in the morning I'm ok for a half hour before the sensation of bring off balance starts and lasts the whole day.
