Post-Covid dizziness/off-balance, as most troubling symptom
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Apr 7 7:22pm | Replies (328)Comment receiving replies
I have difficulty loosing my balance while walking, especially if I am talking, looking around or otherwise distracted. I am working with physical therapy for covid long haulers and do see improvement but I still would not pass a field sobriety test walk doing heel to toe straight line walking. Everything is worse when I am tired or am focusing on other things at the same time-looking around an unfamiliar area when walking outside or looking for items on grocery store shelves.

I am similar - walking and talking on the phone, vacuuming, looking around outside. Even sitting in a room of people who are all having conversation is extremely taxing and causes me to feel the dizziness, head pressure, etc. I've been working with physical therapy on exercises for 8 weeks in hopes of eventually feeling normal again.
These are my symptoms exactly. What have you been doing in physical therapy that seems to help?
I had this as well. Vision therapy with a neuro optometrist helped immensely
me too!!!

I can definitely relate to this! "Everything is worse when I am tired or am focusing on other things at the same time-looking around an unfamiliar area when walking outside or looking for items on grocery store shelves."
Large spaces really get me. One provider recommended trying to wear a baseball had into a store to see if that helps at all...shrinking the visual field. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to.
