I have experoenced this around 8 times in past 2 to 3 months. In 2008 i had an accident and had an head injury, got swallowing to right side of my head behind ears. Very minute hearing loss for right ear, wad detected in test. My brain scan was done that time, but notjing found in it. I was 5 months pregnant when i had an accident, after that incident i was not able to cobtrol my balace for 3 weeks. I got fully recovered in 3 weeks. There we no any issues after that.

hi i am dr usman
well sudden loss of unilateral leg control can be other due to transient ischemic attacks but that seems unlikely in your case. it may be associated with inner ear problems as you are facing. get a opinion from a otolaryngeolist to evalutae your inner ear as it has centres to control balance thanks
