I think that the first thing that I would do, and have, is have a review of all the medication that you are on. Sometimes over time medication effects/side effects change. I would not go to an ENT...would head straight to neurology. If you have no symptoms ie unbalance, equilibrium being of dizziness and just fall.......ENT will not help! (that as been my experience). Then seek a large teaching facility to help with differential diagonoses with experienced team of physicians.

I have not been taking any medications. Thanks for your recommendation. Now, I just have to find that neurologist.
Thanks

I’m not a firm believer medication’s. I know they’re necessary if you need them for your heart, etc., but I don’t take any medication that would attribute to my falls and quite frankly it’s really scary not knowing if you’re going to fall and when it’s gonna happen. I stopped myself from driving when this first occurred approximately a year ago because I’m not gonna kill somebody else. Even though this has never happened while sitting.
