What Is The Remedy For Losing Balance?
Hi
for the past 4 months I keep having a reoccurring feeling of being off balance and staggering to one side - this lasts for about 45mins and then I am left feeling lethargic and 'spaced out' for a few days. I loose my appetite and sometimes have a little diarrhea and a headache - I have just returned from the doctors and he was very honest and said he does not know why and wants to ask a colleague and investigate if necessary. the worst episode was last week where I almost fainted. Could this be serious? I will admit that i do worry and would just like some advice.Thanks Jo

Hi. This could be serious. You have long spells of the problem . Needs real complete investigations. Advise of the Neurologist would be a better idea, who on clinical examination can guide you for further tests to find out the cause and treat accordingly.
Indeed you should get this done ASAP.
