Falling for no apparent reason: Any ideas?

Don’t stop researching! Checkout glutathione and hydrocephalus. Read about herbs. Take milk thistle for sure! (a healthy liver is vital, no matter what else is wrong with you.) No one else is going to solve this problem for you, but the more you study, the more you’ll learn. Try things. Ask every doctor you see if they have an idea. It’s depressing, but you can find answers. The great thing about herbal remedies and other natural treatments is that they tend to treat multiple problems, so even if one doesn’t fix your primary problem, it may help something else. And don’t forget the routine things: a good diet, exercise (with walking sticks, cain, or chair, whatever it takes.

I started fainting and falling in September 2024 for no apparent reason. After several falls and trips to the hospital, I was tested multiple times with multiple diagnose. I was finally diagnosed with MSA, a terminal, debilitating, progressive disease, which I had never even heard of. I finally found out. I have orthostatic hypotension, which is a problem with blood pressure dropping too fast when I stood up, I saw a neurologist who diagnosed my problem.

@Imm6059, I am so sorry for your MSA dx. I am working towards that dx myself. I have mostly autonomic symptoms OH, urinary, temperature problems, breathing, sleep issues. What things are you dealing with? I had the Syn-One test, and I’m waiting for those results. This is such a horrible disease, it is just devastating. Prayer for you as you come to terms with it. ❤️

My sister had this years ago. She was finally diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. You will need a Neurologist for a review.

Did your sister have Multiple System Atrophy or Parkinson Disease? What were her symptoms?

I’m dealing with falling, dizziness, weakness, tremors, speech issues, stopping talking in the middle of a thought and/or sentence. I get my CTA test done tomorrow. I’m very nervous about getting these results. Hopefully I should hear something by Friday or Saturday.

A CT angiogram (CTA) is a medical imaging test that uses a CT scanner and contrast dye to create detailed images of blood vessels, helping to identify blockages or other vascular issues. It is less invasive than traditional angiography, as it does not require catheter insertion. I’m having both with contrast and without contrast today. I have chlosterphobia and have to take medication for it otherwise I can’t make it through the test. They have you lay down on a table that moves your body instead a tunnel.
