Eyes are a big part of balance also, have you had them examined?

Hi Bud. I've done the basic eye test from a neuro-optometrist last month. She checked my eyes for tracking and peripheral vision test. Everything came fine. But she said that's just the initial test and that there is a more through evaluation test that she does. I haven't done that one yet due to the cost of that test.

I'm wondering now if my head movement dizziness might be related to my neck.

But maybe I just need to see if it improves or resolves itself over time instead of panicking right now looking for solutions. My mind is thinking the worst possible scenarios and that it might not ever go away. Truth be told, i'm scared.

Millions of people live full lives with a bit of a balance problem. They are called senior citizens. I've had problems since I was 32 years old in 1987 when I had surgery. The anesthesia left me with this minor but persistent issue. I just learned to move a bit slower when I make changes to my direction.

Recovery research shows that those who accept their condition and learn to move forward as they are, not expecting improvements, do the best. The anxiety and angst of those who do not accept their struggles can be more detrimental to life than the symptom. Keep asking but stop fretting.

I'm sorry to hear about how that happened to you.

Yes I can fully admit that i'm really struggling to accept what I have to deal with at the moment. I'm trying to look for answers as to how to fix it. Hopefully it will resolve...

Mark you've been very help full in answering all the questions i've asked for since i joined this site. Thank you.
