A balance disorder is a condition marked by the symptoms of feeling unsteady or dizzy. Even while standing, lying or sitting still, a person with a balance disorder will feel as if they are moving, spinning or floating. While walking, people may feel as if they are tipping over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Primary symptoms include dizziness or a spinning sensation (vertigo), falling or feeling as if you are going to fall, lightheadedness, faintness, a floating sensation, blurred vision, confusion or disorientation. Other symptoms include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, changes in heart rate and blood pressure, fear and anxiety or panic attacks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These disorders can be caused by anything that affects the inner ear or the brain such as medications, ear infections<\/a> or head injuries. The risk for balance disorders increases as people get older.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
