Brief Answer: Thanks. Detailed Answer: Thanks you for following up with me. 3. This could be related to orthostatic hypotension or equilibrium originating from the ears, brain, etc. It would be very difficult to tell what this means without a complete physical examination and a more detailed interview. I will suggest that you follow up with your treating physician on this. 4. The word final here represents the conclusions of the laboratory and not what your doctor has to do. If he is not convinced with the reports from this laboratory, I will suggest that he gets a different sample and send to a second laboratory for confirmation. This way, we would be very sure of what the results are. I wish you well. I Hope this helps. Feel free to ask for more input if need be. Thanks. Dr. Ditah, MD.
