The sensation of feeling dizzy or like you’re going to fall can seem scary and sometimes come out of nowhere. Balance problems can occur due to infections in the ear, problems in the inner ear, high or low blood pressure, arthritis, head injuries and eye muscle imbalances. As we get older balance problems can increase.
Balance disorder symptoms can range from vertigo or dizziness, feeling like you are going to fall and blurred vision to tiredness, mental confusion and changes in heart rate and blood pressure.
Certain types of balance disorders include Ménière's disease, Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Vestibular neuronitis, Labyrinthitis, Mal de Debarquement (MdDS) as well as others.
