I have balance, light headedness, falling issues pretty bad. Due to a mytherad of reasons including hypotension, chemo drug induced neouropothy, sensorineural hearing loss and lung cancer stage 4B. It is constant dizziness at all times. It is debilitating and I’m suffering from it. I live alone, 71 years old and am managing but this has been going on for way too long 2 years or more. My doctors have prescribed meclizine, lorazepam, diazepam, dropidopa etc. Still no progress. I have lost 40 pounds in 4 years. I am going to Mayo Clinc Rochester soon I hope. Morning coffees do help haha. Any advice about anything would help. I feel miserable and sometimes helpless. BEST Jim Smith

I spent a month in hospital with a viral infection and have been resting mostly. But, now I find that I am quite dizzy which makes walking dangerous. If I fall on concrete, I'm sure it might kill me. I am using a cane which helps but how do I get rid of the dizziness. Is it from my ears, my lungs, my age? It's most distressing.
