I was having balance issues as well, so I went to a neurologist. He did a nerve conduction study and found out that I have neuropathy. It was during that appointment that he sent me for additional lab work which showed I had lupus. May I suggest that you see a neurologist especially one that focuses on movement disorders?
I have balance issues myself, i dont believe its caused from my meds either i believe its lupus related or from my strokes
