I think you should either call 111 or go to a walk in and just have a chat with them xx

That sounds like something you should be discussing with your GP really loveheart ... 'cos no, you shouldn't be falling over so much. Sounds a bit of a nightmare.

I am constantly losing my balance and falling over. Something happens and I go down like a sack of potatoes, inflicting some horrible damage on myself. I have had all kinds of tests and investigations and there seems to be no physical cause for it.
