Hello all, I have a question. I was in ICU with multiple issues including meningitis sepsis and encephalitis. now six months later I feel like my head is wobbling when I walk. Also little stagger sometimes. Have to concentrate with my balance all the time. Just wondering do others feel like this? Not bad around home its when shopping or going for a walk. Cheers Carol.

If you are at all worried see your GP you may need some physio to help you. I hope you can get this sorted x

I've had problems with balance since I was in ICU two years ago. Initially I couldn't cope if I was in a situation with a lot of movement around me, such as crowded places. I was diagnosed with vertigo and I'm on medication for this. But I still have issues with loss of balance and weaving about when walking.

I have the same problem but only been going on about four months. I am hoping that mine is down to the amount of postoperative meds I am still on.
