I can't walk a straight line. should i check my inner ear health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Imbalance & brain: Persistent inability to walk a straight line could have multiple causes, including vision changes, brain abnormalities and inner ear. Age plays a role in some balance related issues. Best to seek evaluation from your primary care provider to begin investigating if you have other symptoms and what the most likely cause is.
