I have had dizziness and awkward balance for about 1 year a vascular Dr found that when I stand up my blood pressure drops 30 points so that was one symptom I also have had a few falls and become off balance when I turn my head or look up or down I feel like it’s in my neck but they can’t find anything wrong in the neck. But had bad fall backwards and hit my head hard on wood floor I had concussion and whip lash. Now were doing a VNG test for inner ear. I thinks it could be do to knocking my jaw out of alignment. But it’s been a real mystery. Then they did a full body xray and my neck is leaning to the left side scoliosis and my spine has flattened out but still no definite cause of the symptoms I am having. Its so frustrating and I just feel bad most of the time. I sure hope you find out what your problem is because this isn’t fun you feel so helpless! Good luck and prayers!

That sounds like orthostatic hypotension. B/P dropping when standing up from sitting or lying down. Did the doctor do any further testing to see what was causing the OH?
