Ive been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my head and body are moving even when Im lying down. Sometimes I feel out of balance when Im walking, too. What could be causing this? It's starting to worry me a bit.

You may be experiencing a condition known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or a vestibular balance disorder, characterized by sensations of movement, spinning, or loss of balance, especially when lying down or changing positions; other possible causes include inner ear problems, migraines, or anxiety, so consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

My dad has blepharospasm where his left eye and cheek keep twitching nonstop, and it's really bothering him. He even gets headaches from it. Doctors mentioned surgery or injections as options, but I'm wondering if there are other treatments we could try first. What else might help with this?
