What Causes Loss Of Balance And Tinnitus After A Walk?
I had a finished a short walk ~ 2 miles when all of a sudden I had loss of balance no dizziness associated with it, I do have ringing in the ears (had pior to this events), blood pressure after slight delay before I could measure it was 128/72 and was thirsty and have drank 2 bottle of water since. No more reoccurence since. I do take thyroid and blood pressure medication and my normal dosage in the morning. Trying to understand what is happening.

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would like to explain that your symptoms could be related to dehydration and orthostatic hypotension.
The fact that you felt thirsty and the ringing in your ears could be another argument in favor of dehydration.
I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure in the next days and take plenty of water.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
