Has anyone experienced falls and loss of balance?

Posted by maryhines395 @maryhines395, Dec 2, 2025

Hi,
I was diagnosed in 2021. I have been having a lot of falls lately.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Monnikers here. I was diagnosed with Parkinsons almost a year ago.9

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @maryhines395. Sorry to hear you've experienced falls and loss of balance. Glad you could hear from @monnikers about the physical therapy experience.

monnikers - do you have a Parkinson's disease diagnosis?

maryhines395 - what has your neurologist said about the falls and loss of balance? Are they related to the Parkinson's? Medications you may be taking?

I had numerous falls (8) in a matter of a few months. I was referred to a physical therapist who quickly suspected
inner ear crystals was the cause. She performed the epley maneuver on me and my symptoms were immediately gone! I could not believe the instant relief and I have not fallen since! It's worth a try.
