Worried about falling.

[kimmy22]

Hi. Just wondered what people thought. I’m worrying myself because I keep having falls or wobbles. It happened a few years ago and I ended up with a pacemaker due to an irregular heart beat. No more falls or wobbles. Now 18 months later I’ve started again. In twoweek I’ve had three falls and two wobbles. Saw gp and discovered my normally good no was very high. So got it rechecked and still high. Now have to check it daily at home mornjng and night. Wobbled yesterday out shopping , fall prevented by a wall !and this morning I fell avoiding my granddaughter. My son texted asking if I should go to the hospital. I think I should just keep taking bp recordings and wait. In the meantime my daughter in law is worried about me - but also about the baby (18 months) who twice I’ve fallen onto or over. Not on top of her - but next to her! What do you think I should do. ? I have severe asthma, a pacemaker and now flipping high blood pressure ! X

See a GP, a cardiologist and possibly a neurologist. I am not a doctor, but to me this sounds like more than high blood pressure. You should try to get to the bottom of this ASAP as if you fall you could end up with a broken bone, as well.

I have another thought. I had lunch with some friends today, and one person said she had fainted twice recently and fallen once. Her doctor said it was something to do with her vagus nerve. You can ask your doctor about that. Apparently it is not serious, but annoying and scary for her.
