I can't walk straght?

Question

I have no idea what happend! One day I was fine the next I could hardly walk straght! I'm also getting these strange dizzy flashes when i'm walking sometimes (if that has anything to do with it). Anyone know what could be wrong with me? If anyone has any questions, i'll try my best to answer them. I really want this to stop, I have to salvage whatever dignity i have left...

I ment to say straight lol

Answer 1

Not being able to walk straight happened to you suddenly as well as strange dizzy flashes. Don't mess around asking questions on Y/A. The fact that this happened suddenly can be a sign something is definitely wrong, and you need to see a doctor. Anytime you have a "sudden onset" of any type of health issue it is best to seek a doctors advice. Even if you do not have health insurance and have to spend cash, you need to get in to see a doctor. Or, find a free medical clinic and sit there all day if necessary until you are seen. I don't want to scare you too badly, but a friend of mine was 18 and had an aneurysm with a headache and dizziness as the symptoms. He almost died from something that is not normal in young people. Don't worry about salvaging your dignity, and maybe save your life.

Answer 2

Could be a stroke to the cerebellum (the part of the brain responsible for coordination). If so, this is definitely not a do-it-yourself-project; time to see a doctor.

Answer 3

Have you recently stopped taking an antidepressant? This happens sometimes when people stop those, especially if they don't taper off them.

Answer 4

Otitis media is my first guess, an inflammation of the middle ear.

Been there, done that and isn't it fun not knowing which way is up?
