Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Firstly -see a doc-you must find out what is causing this--------it may be a ear infection or something growing on your semi circular canals or ear drum--------that may cause your instability-if so then you will need personal and competent advice-as it will possibly need surgery to remove before it gets any bigger-it could also be your blood pressure -making you feel a bit whoossy-- it could also be your eye sight, as some people experience dizziness and insecurity with failing eye sight-----so first find out the exact cause of your dizziness and then perhaps we can advise a good backup to aid in the recovery.......love and light x hawk4796 <groundhawk2 wrote: Hi everybody I'm a 55 year old male and I need some help.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi Terry, You didnt say how long you had this condition? I've had this condition aince my early twenties and I am 75 now. Mine was caused by damage to my inner ear, both by loud guns and illness. I suggest you go to an ear doctor, he can determine if your problem comes from a simple cause like fluid in your ear, in which case that can be helped by draining, or meds. It is unusual that it bothers you while driving, usually it doesnt bother me when i am sitting still. Avoid tasks where you have to look up, like painting a ceiling. I havent found a permanent cure, but simple exercises to retrain your brain seem to help. ~EA hawk4796 <groundhawk2 wrote: Hi everybody I'm a 55 year old male and I need some help.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Depending upon any other meds you may be taking you may want to try some available items that increase your vascular flow to the head area..like ginkgo or ginger. If you notice help with these things then that's great. If not then you really need to get your ears checked out. You could have an existing problems with one or both ears. medusa - " hawk4796 " <groundhawk2 Thursday, June 14, 2007 8:37 AM Equilibrium help > Hi everybody I'm a 55 year old male and I need some help.
