Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

If this loss of balance persists, I would suggest you to get yourself physically examined by a neurologist.You may need a CT scan of brain, in that situation.

If the symptoms improve, it should not be a cause of concern.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.

Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
