Suggest Remedy For Balance Problems

My Dad is 79 years old and is experiencing balance problems. He has had double pneumonia and is in a rehab facility to try to get his strength back so he can go home to stay by himself. Should we see a specialist or just his family doctor? He s also had frequent sinus infections and has been diagnosed with COPD.

Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

Balance is a troublesome condition and most of the time a benign condition. still, to prevent that the situation becomes progressive you should seek a neurological consult.

Talk to your GP about scheduling one.

Hope this helps.
