'Worried about falling over'
I’m unsteady and scared of falling
I’m a woman in my seventies and have noticed that my balance is sometimes bad. I’m afraid that I’ll have a fall. Is there anything I can do to improve my balance?...
How can I stop feeling off-balance all the time?
I’m a lady in my eighties and have hardening of the arteries. I am very off-balance and have falls. I take tablets for my balance, and also a tablet to keep my pulse regular. My doctor says my condition won’t get any worse, but that he can’t make it better. Surely there must be something else that can be done?...
I’m overweight and fall a lot. Can exercise help?
I am a 64-year-old woman, weigh 18½st and have diet-controlled diabetes. I have twice broken my leg in the past five years. I have been advised to walk for exercise, but I seem to fall over when I go walking, which has affected my confidence. Would a treadmill at home help? I could spend about £150...
Can exercise help my tinnitus and balance?
I have very severe tinnitus and I find lots of exercise very difficult because I have problems with my balance and dizzy spells. I have a hula hoop but even that can put me off balance at times. Have you any other suggestions?...
