Balance and falling a lot

Do you feel off balance like you are walking on a boat or like you go to turn the corner and your leg goes forward but your head seems to weigh 100lbs and you pitch backward or sideways? You bump into walls and fall down doing some of the simplest things? Like you were intoxicated but you've not had a drop of anything to drink? If so, it could be similar to what I got. I went to Mayo to get a full diagnosis back in 2014.

overcomer11 What was the diagnosis from Mayo. No, I don't seem have the symptoms you are describing. I just SIMPLY topple over or swerve into walls and doorways, etc. No heavy head and no boat feeling. No dizziness.

The "imbalance" part was diagnosed as Chronic Subjective Dizziness. Basically my brain/body is hyper sensitive to the movement of my head and objects around me. I have other diagnosi that go along with it that exasterbate it but it occurs alone as well.
