Feeling Like Falling When Stand. Cannot Balance. Going Blank And Head Spinning. Worried
Thanks for your question. My name is Dr Omer and I am here to help you today with your question. I will be happy to assist you with your follow up questions also. I am sorry to hear about your problem.
As you have said that you are having spinning with fear of getting a fall while standing , walking ,getting up from bed, or when lying on bed .....all these symptoms leads to a disease of ear known as BPPV(benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).
Vertigo is said when you are having spinning of things around you, aggravated by head movement, and smoking.
BPPV is a disease common in your age (32 years), with accumulation of otolith in your ear tubules
You need to go to ENT specialist for halpikes maneuver to remove this otolith in your ear tubules
Your ear tubules help you balance and prevent spin, but with otolith you have more spinning problem as soon as you move your head in specific direction
It will improve alot with halpikes manuveur, to be done by your ENT specialist, with medicines that prevent spinning like ( maxalon, diazepam, serc) and you will have significant improvement in 3-5 days

As I have already explained it to you, that you may be a patient of BPPV. As you have told that you have spining when you walk and feels like some one has held your legs, clearly that points out to bppv. You have recent onset of these symptoms. Please visit an ENT specialist as I have told you in detail in last reply.
Other diagnosis, but are categorized low in your case are
Cerebellar lesion- This can be ruled out by an MRI of the brain.
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
Take care
Thanks for writing back.
First, I would like to apologize. I am here to help you in the most humble way possible.
If you allow me I want to explain again, but from your first message, it seems that your joints have the problem, you feel weakness and will fall. Even when you are sitting you are having feeling of fainting or black out.
Feeling weak in joint leads to diseases of sensory system of the body.
Getting black out while sitting points to involvement of brain or bad rhythm of your heart.
I would suggest you should visit your General physician for detailed testing of sensory system dysfunction like EMG (Electromyography) / NCS (Nerve conduction studies).
All the diseases of sensory system dysfunction are completely treatable, and don’t worry you will be healthy again.
I am really sorry once again, if I wrote something wrong.
I hope this will help.
Take care,
