Brief Answer:
More information needed about your health condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
I need to ask you some questions first:
- other symptoms besides balance problems such difficulty controlling urination, memory problems?
- what about your general health condition, any other health issues and drugs you use?
- any tests or imaging studies done recently?
In my opinion, normal pressure hydrocephalus should be taken in consideration as one of possible causes of your symptoms.
Awaiting for more information......
