@mickeymoose BTW: love the name! I fall, often. Have had this issue for years. theories, none actually led to solution. Now, our situations are different!!!!! I'm 73, have health issues, etc. But, some info might help you. I was in Mayo ED 2X in Nov. , admitted to hospital for testing. I 'fell' at Mayo when getting up from lying down for imaging tests. fainted. This happens a lot, getting worse, when I sit up from lying down or, it's worse when standing up from sitting. my blood pressure drops and doesn't go back up where it's supposed to be. Orthostatic blood pressure. Hospital ck'd for heart, but it's ok. If you have a bp monitor and ck yours for a journel.....if not, might consider doing that for several days to give to your doc....Since my bp stays down, the Mayo docs think it may be related to autononomic neuropathy. Autoimmune. I'm having tests tomorrow to find out if this is it. Hope so for a diagnosis. Hope not, since it's not a good one. But, all to say, you may have a bp issue with it dropping when you change posiition. If so, it can be treated. You can't keep on falling! Let us know what your doc says. Blessings. Elizabeth

All the best to you both Elizabeth and @mickeymoose 🙏🌹

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your kind words. I'm English, and therefore I am in an English hospital. I haven't got a Clue what's wrong with me although I was told I had low BP. In August. So I think I will mention that to the Dr. When I see him shortly.

Thanks for that Elizabeth, sadly cant see my gp at the mo, something to do with a global pandemic. Oh well I will
