Challenging: Important to know if your stroke(s) did involve brainstem cerebellar connections, as this can cause ataxia and dysequilibration. But even an affect on the inner ear could be severe. First, would get updated evaluation, consider a vestibular rehab program, and visit with an occupational therapist to address ways of daily coping. Some meds may help. See a physiatrist.

See your doc: If you have had a stroke this should be addressed. Your neurologist can work with your primary care md and your cardiologist to outline a plan for you. Unfortunately, medicine cannot cure all ills, but i hope you get some relief.
