Neuro-ophthalmologists do not have a good track record based on posts on NT. But, every neuro-ophthalmologist is different.
You could start your exam with the VT by asking, Is my balance problem mostly caused by a vision problem ? |
Thanks for that. I will certainly ask that question to the VT.
Do you have any theories on why dizziness would start a month and half into PCS? Like i said in the other thread, I wasn't really dealing with much dizziness at the start but the since the hot bath on thursday, I've been dealing with dizziness and balance issues. My theory is that the blood pressure drop etc from the hot bath was too much for the concussed mind to handle and was a bit of a relapse and lead to dizziness.
In your experience, do you know how long relapses last for and go back to "normal" before the relapse event?
