When I stand my legs buckle and I feel like I'm going to fall, or I'm standing having a smoke and my body will shake like Iv been electrocuted. Even when sitting down I feel as though I'm going to blank out or my head spins. I'm finding it hard to walk In public because I feel that everyone can tell somrthings wrong and I'm also scared of falling or fainting. Its not sponnig its more like il be walking the. Someone grabs me legs like there about to give way hard to explain

Thanks for writing to us.
There are many reasons which can cause Feeling of imbalance. It could be due to brain or spinal cord related problems.
Do you tend to fall due to imbalance? Can you stand straight with closed eyes? Any feeling of numbness, tightness or tingling in legs? Any neck pain or upper back pain? Checked your blood pressure and sugar?
Please consult a physician to get a thorough exam to rule out commoner cause. If it come to brain or spine then you may need to get MRI brain and spine. Thanks.
