What Causes Dizziness And Off Balance Feeling After A Head Trauma?
i was in a severe car accident 4 months ago with head trauma. ive really had no problems other than dizzy spells so the doctor then did an mri and it came back fine. but then today i was standing in a line talking to my aunt and i was talking and all of a sudden all that would come out was mumbles. like i was totaly drunk. my whole body went very limp and i had to sit. it scared me so bad all i couls do was cry cause i knew what i needed to say but couldnt say iyt. this lasted for about 10 minutes then for about 30 minutes after i was stuttering a little and shaking. now i feel ok just like my balance is off a little what could this have possibly been?

Hi!
I read carefully your query.
I think that you have vertiginous disease which may be:
- Central from cerebral disease and to exclude it you should do brain MRI
- Peripheral from middle ear disease (Mennier disease) which excluded with cammertonal proves and Audiogram.
Every diagnosis may treatment but the first by neurologist and the second by otorhinolaringologyst.
I think so that your problem is not related with the accident.
Wish you fast recovery.
