Hi I got hit by a lorry head on a couple of months ago and now I have terrible dizziness and lots of pain in my head like pressure building up in it and it's no joke, I am selfempolyed and have got to work but it's taking its toll on me, I just have to lean on a wall or someone as I would fall over , I feel like I am tipping forward all the time and that's just one of the problems I have but there is lots more so I am just trying to deal with it day to day

Yes balance does not come easy until you adjust to your own inbalance/dizziness... never lock your legs to make up for it you will pass out
