is losing your balance a sign of copd.it is not my ears

it is not my ears.

  1. Hi , and thanks for your post and question - it's a good one! As you may be aware, we cannot provide medical advice or diagnostics over the internet (for your own safety), but your concern certainly warrants a reply.
    There are any number of medical conditions that can be accompanied by a loss of balance. There are also some characteristic COPD symptoms that may result in a loss of balance.
    Are you experiencing feelings of imbalance, margerita? If this is something that is concerning for you, I would suggest you reach out for your private medical doctor. Your physician will know you and your medical history best. He/she will be able to determine if there is, in fact, an issue and be able to guide you through an evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment if needed.
    What do you think?

    1. Losing balance can be a sign of many things, not just ear problems or just COPD. I would suggest to bring this up as soon as possible to your doctor and let them do some checking in to it to be sure what could be causing this. I wish you much luck and steady walking, becareful out there!

      1. what did they say when you lost your balance

        1. Hi there, Yes I have been losing my balance lately, thought it was just me trying to move quicker, which can sometimes make me out of breath, I wonder if it can be a symptom of copd. X

          1. Hi Leon, You are probably right, Thankyou for your reply it means a lot.X

          2. Hi again, CopdGirl - it's my pleasure - you are very welcome!
