I'm really confused and a bit worried about something I've been experiencing for the past year. I've been having this floating sensation and imbalance when I walk. I got an MRI done for both my brain and cervical spine, but they came back normal. What's weird is that sometimes it goes away for about 15 days and then just comes back. It's driving me insane! I dont have headaches, blurred vision, hearing issues, high blood pressure, or diabetes. It all started with this spinning feeling when I got up from bed, but now it mostly feels like imbalance. I consulted an ENT doctor who said it's not BPPV. I've also been to 3 or 4 neurophysicians and tried some medications but they didnt help. One of them suggested it might be anxiety, but I'm really lost here and dont know what to do next. Could you please suggest any other possibilities or any other steps I should take? I'm honestly at a loss and could use some direction.

That could be BPPV or Anxiety,follow your doctors advice maintain proper posture,and stay physicially active and take adequate rest

I'm a 17-year-old boy dealing with a brain condition called calcified granuloma. I'm really unsure about what kind of diet I should follow now and what treatment options are available. Can you advise me on what I should be eating and how I might go about treating this?

I'm sorry to hear about your condition. For calcified granuloma in the brain, treatment typically involves managing any symptoms or underlying conditions. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins like vitamin E can support brain health. It's essential to follow your doctor's advice for specific treatment options, which may include monitoring, medications, or possibly surgery depending on severity.
