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.

Hi @boatman12 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm sorry to hear about your balance trouble and falling often.

Have you gotten seriously hurt from a fall? I'm guessing since you posted here you have a Parkinson's diagnosis?

@lisalucier yes , I have Parkinson’s and no I haven’t been injured in my many falls. Thankfully

@monnikers Thank you for this- I wish I had read your post earlier. I just had a BPPV issue Sunday morning and had forgotten that I’d had it long ago in the past. Scared the heck out of me, we have a lot of stairs in this house. Eventually (thank you internet) I did the Epley a couple of times and now my vertigo is gone.
