Hello@kybabs, I would like to add my welcome to you as you have just recently joined Mayo Clinic Connect.

I can certainly understand your concern over your husband's falls. I am glad to read that he will be seeing a doctor regarding this. Falls are a difficult problem as we get older and lead to surgeries for broken bones as well as time in rehab. It is important to try to get to the root cause of these falling spells.

You might try keeping a journal of his falls and record when they occur. For example, falls before mealtime might suggest a problem with blood sugar. Often problems upon rising can be attributed to blood pressure fluctuations. There are so many reasons for falls that it takes a good neurological exam to rule out the many possibilities.

If he has a neurologist, I would highly recommend that he make an appointment there as well. Neurologists can be very helpful in understanding balance and falling problems.

Will you post again with an update as to how your husband is doing?
