Falling for no apparent reason: Any ideas?

My 72 yr old husband was a big drinker all his life. Just this past year he started falling and had balance issues. The neurologist said that my husband had nerve damage in his feet and legs due to drinking. So he stopped, cold turkey, is wasn't easy. However, now a year later he is must better, no falls and balance problems...good luck

I fall, occasionally, while walking. I do not slip, and I have had a total of about ten alcohol drinks in the last 83 years. But I do have many cancers and other diseases. I think the issues center around the white matter in my brain, and the cardiomegaly in my heart . Anyway, I have never fallen from a sitting position (except from rodeo stock). I just black out and go down. oldkarl
