3. Yes, but related in my case to undertreated hypertension.

But having had multiple ruptured eardrums in childhood, earaches, and other related symptoms.

I just had staples removed from a brain intervention of 5/20, a procedure that followed a fall from dizziness, an ambulance trip to ER and then a LifeFlight to a major medical center, released 5/24, glad to be alive.

Balance is one of the indicators, I think, of any number of conditions including, but not limited to, poor circulation and, possibly, aneurisms about to occur, as was my case.

Never take for granted what seems so natural, some folks pass in their thirties from what scared me in my fifties.
