Still Facing Balance Issues After BPPV
On April 29, I experienced vertigo whenever I tilted my head to one side. The next day, I visited AIIMS and consulted an ENT specialist. After some positional tests, I was told I had BPPV. They prescribed Aurafree (twice daily) and performed audiometry and ECOG tests, both of which came back normal. A few days into the medication, I started feeling a strange sense of imbalance while walking, like I was swaying. Thinking it was a side effect, I reduced the dose to once at night and eventually stopped the medicine after 15 days. However, even now, I'm still struggling with balance issues. Why is this happening, and what should I do next?
