Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious neurological problem. We need to exclude a disease of peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy) or spinal cord disease (myelopathy), where one can feel dizzy or lose balance while standing with closed eyes. This is called as Homburgs sign in clinical neurology. Please get examined by a neurologist. He may order for MRI spine and nerve conduction studies for confirmation of diagnosis. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
