Balance problems

[LindyF]

I wonder if anyone else has balance problems. I have been housebound with axiety since December and now experience that if I walk around the house downstairs I am just wobbly but if I stand still balance is awful.

I have balance problems. Go and see your doctor about it. I have started doing exercises for vertigo which I got off the internet. I do them a couple of times a day. It's worth getting it checked out.

What are the exercises that you do? I have been getting really bad dizzy spells recently.

Thanks

Rach GP came to see me ears are fine he says its part of the anxiety can you let me have web link for the exercises please.

I use this exercise. If you google them there are a few. I think it doesn't do any harm.
If the doctor is saying it is anxiety then yes dizziness is a common symptom. Try deep breaths cause if you are not breathing correctly that will make you dizzy also.

Hey Lindy / Everyone :D

Not sure why , maybe the medication im on , but I have this thing going on quite a bit .
It's kinda like , my mind says ....right ......get up / set off / lift leg etc ................ but my body is a second or three behind .

So I often have a bit of a wobbly episode and people around smile and ask if I have had a few beers :blush: . Seriously though , I have been like this for seven or so years and it's never got any worse . I hope you can be reassured from folk here or yr GP , cos it's not nice to be worried hun is it xx

Ta ta folks
Love Hope xx
