I agree you need to do therapy for balance.
I am 75 and I can tell my balance is not was good as it used to be. For me I say I wobble. And like the old toy that said they wobble and don’t fall down I might. I have made changes in my home. My kids gave me a stair chair to go up and down to the basement, a ramp in garage and put in walk in tub with handles in and outside the shower. I plan on living here for a long time.
I hope you get some great information as what might be going on and what to do.

Hi,
I have the same problem with feeling like I'm tipping forward. I catch myself also. I have no idea what causes it. It just started happening one day. I also have a problem with getting dizzy if I look up towards the sky. So, I don't. Apparently it's something to do with getting older. I'm just careful all the time and move a little slower so I don't trip. This doesn't happen everyday just periodically. But I never know when. I just pray about it and keep going on with my life. Drinking a lot of water helps a little.
I wish you the best.
PML
