Re: balance issues, acupuncture a huge help. I first went to ENT, confirmed that it was not inner ear. After a long interview he said that balance issues are often caused by light sensitivity and related headaches. Made sense: my light sensitivity has gone through the roof since covid. The only thing that has helped is an acupuncturist, who had long covid. Balance improved 75% immediately. I am also doing PT for balance, prescribed by the ENT, it might be helping. Try acupuncture! Good luck and be well!
