Falling for no apparent reason: Any ideas?

Hi my suggestion is getting a good neurologist surgeon, Have an MRI on your brain. There could be a loose connection in your brain. (hehe) Recently, my husband has a pineal cyst in his brain. Seizures like automatically falling - it last only a few minutes. Anyway, something to get checked out and ruled out. Wishing you best on your investigating journey.

When they do the MRI, tell them to look for superficial siderosis. It’s caused by a brain bleed the leaves a thin sheet of blood between areas of the brain. Over time it oxidizes and interrupts signals in the brain. Very rare disease, but I have it and it first appears as imbalance, called ataxia, and steadily gets worse. I was getting by with a cane, It now using a rollater. I’m 77 and falling is now my biggest fear, I do not want to lose mobility. Good luck
