My husband , if he looks up, or is startled in some way just falls. He has had a brain mri ,seen ear, eye,noe dr, and a neurologist. We have been told they cannot find anything wrong, In the meantime, his symtons contine to worsen. Any ideas?

Not to be sarcastic but obviously try to avoid gazing upward and it almost sounds a little like a vasovagal response to the neck/head possibly causing a decrease in blood supply to his brain. No I don’t think anything would show on imaging or and EEG. Please excuse this dumb question but has he tried duplicating the position in the presence of the professionals? I would presume your husband would repeat the same psychological response?

I also fall when I look up and get dizzy to the point I almost pass-out when I look down. I have Parkinsons' which now seems to be the "go to" answer to everything. It's sad when medical practitioners bypass solutions because of this or any other presumption.
It is scary and can cause emotional problems as well as broken bones, etc. You're in my prayers.
