1. Fall Prevention
Everyone learned in school what the 5
senses were: hearing, vision, taste, touch
and smell. But no one ever talked about
your sense of balance. The ability to stand,
sit and move is such a part of our every-day
life, that we take it for granted. When you
get dizzy or become unsteady, it can affect
your whole life.
Sudden attacks of dizziness can be a sign of stroke or heart attack.
Dizziness requires immediate medical attention to rule out something
serious. More commonly, as we age, we begin to experience
unsteadiness. It usually occurs gradually. Instability can lead to
falling, causing injury with serious consequences.
If you are unstable, you should tell your doctor. He may send you to
an audiologist (hearing specialist) or neurologist to diagnose your
problems. They may recommend exercises to help you maintain
stability.
