Is It Safe To Drive A Heavy Vehicle While Having A Ear Imbalance Problem?
Can I drive with ear imbalance problem. I drive heavy goods vehicles. My condition is quite severe and persists even when I lie down, or turn my head, I m 52 years old and the condition has got worse of late, I have not visited my GP as yet and I am worried about my HGV licence being suspended. Many thanks, mark

Hi,
It is not at all advisable to drive any vehicle while having imbalance problem.
As you get imbalance while turning your head, it is dangerous to drive as nodding of head is very common movement while driving.
Consult your doctor and get examined for your problem and go for treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.
