Balance issues

Three sessions so far with my PT. The big spinning is mostly fixed.
There is still a lot of mild spinning, sometimes just from looking down or turning my head.
She is concerned that there may be something else causing this, so we're working on balance while watching for progress or not.
With walking stick I'm able to get a pretty good pace on flat roads. I'm learning to look straight ahead!
I went for a wood hike with my walking buddy, but had to turn back when the trail got too rocky.
At 75 this is not the worst possible adventure.
I'm lucky to have found a PT who is a neurological specialist.
I see the stroke patients in the waiting room and am filled with admiration for their courage to keep going.

I am 75 and had those same symptoms until a respiratory nurse told me to check my carbs. I was eating rice and potatoes daily just because I like those foods. I cut those out, along with potato chips and in less than 2 weeks those issues were gone, AND my asthma attacks decreased tremendously. I seldom use my rescue inhaler although I still must use my regular twice daily regular inhaler. Hope this helps.
