Wobbly with heights
Discussion
Hi,
I'm after a bit of advice, or thoughts before I book myself in with a GP.
I seem to have developed a bit of an issue with regards to heights, a bit of back ground...
I used to be an absolute monkey when I was a kid and into my teens where I would happily climb to the top of trees and swing around on ropes and branches etc. In my early 20's I trekked in the Himalaya along some pretty dicey tracks and had no problem, my father likening me to a mountain goat!
Then in my late twenties I had a car crash and from what I can remember since then I have started to have a bit of a problem with heights, it can be a flight of stairs and I sometimes hesitate and I usually find myself needing a handrail to hold onto and since buying a house recently I have found it really hard to even climb a step ladder without me feeling wobbly. I don't think it is vertigo, more sense of loss of balance. I even climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge at night in the last few months and had no mental problem with doing it but on certain points, I felt really needed to hold onto something.
Anyone have any idea at what I might be looking at?
It seems I sort of lose cordination of my legs and feet and feel out of balance when I doing steps or stairs.
