Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Loss Of Balance With Severe Leaning To The Left?
I'm taking Nucynta 200 ER twice a day for six months along with prozac, wellbutrin, nexium, prednisone, vivelle dot. When I got out of bed this morning I had a loss of balance with severe leaning to the left that has improved a little bit. Also am on Cipro.
hi, loss of balance is generally due to vestibular disease. Acute onset of this supports a derangement in vestibular function that is commonly seen in viral infections, middle ear disease etc. some drugs that you are using like nucynta can also cause this as a side effect. Rarely, an infarct or a tumor in posterior brain (cerebellum) can also cause this when, it will be unresponsive to drugs. you may try a short course of labrynthine drugs like betahistine or cinnarizine. If you have persisting symptoms, consult a neurologist. hope this helped.
