Having trouble keeping your balance?

I am not experiencing simple balance issues: I get sudden, unprovoked, unexpected static sensations accompanied by rigidity. I have to suddenly force my upper body forward, all the way to placing my hands on the ground or around my ankles, to prevent falling straight over backwards like a statue. This happens when I am standing still, talking to someone.

@peggi, It must be disconcerting to have sudden and unexpected episodes like you describe. I'm not sure if this is helpful or not but it may shed some light on your symptoms. It's a chapter from a book - Episodic Neurologic Symptoms - Clinical Methods - NCBI
