Question: Hi,
I have been feeling slightly unsteady/wobbly when I walk. It's a slight unsteady feeling. I never lose balance or need to use the wall to stay balanced. I don't feel that I will, or I might lose balance either. Also, when I lay down sometimes I feel light headed/dizzy, but this feeling goes away right when I sit upright. I don't feel as if I am moving or if the world around me is moving. I'm not sure if what I described is actually dizziness. It's like a "funny" feeling in my head that starts and goes on for a few seconds, if I sit upright, it goes away almost instantly. Also, I don't feel this wobbly feeling if I go for a run or a jog, only when I am walking.
I don't get headaches or any other symptoms. I have done many balance tests, and I never feel dizzy or unstable when I do them.
I have been to my GP a few times and he says this is not anything to worry about. (I do have a considerable amount of anxiety as well). He did various physical tests and asked in depth questions, multiple blood and urine tests, ECG as well.
Lastly, these symptoms started about a month ago - I was quite sick with a fever and some weakness and felt very "down". The fever and sick feeling started first, and these symptoms sort of came along with them. At that time, I was told it was something viral therefore, it will get better with time. All other symptoms got much better within 2 weeks, this wobbly feeling as well, it is much better but is still there. When I went back to the doctor, he said that I most likely came across a viral illness a month ago and these symptoms (to do with the inner ear) can take a few months to go away even if the infection could have gone away within a few weeks. I'm just a little concerned and would like a second opinion.

thank you
