Suggest Treatment For Vertigo And Balancing Issues After A Fall
My balance is troublesome, I just fell again, no injuries this time. Last time, I broke my nose in 3 places - not happy with a large bump, but that was after the fall, My gait is not normal, I begin to walk faster and leaning forward until I almost fall, so I stop and regroup myself. I ve had vertigo before, but this is way different. My doc here suggested parkinsons and normal lpressure hydrocephalus. ??? I had an MRI and they found two large areas of fluid.

Hello,
We have to rule out possible causes like middle ear injury or mastoid fracture. As a first line management drugs like betahistine can be taken. If symptoms persists better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
