Hi, my name is Warren Whaley I got up in the night to go to the bathroom. While I was standing up to go. I felt myself falling and couldn t stop myself. I hurt my elbows and my shoulder but it got me worrying about what would have caused me to fall. Anything I should have checked out?

Hello,
It can be just postural hypotension or numbing of limbs due to the wrong posture. Still, you definitely need a detailed examination by a physician, especially for heart and brain systems. To get those pro lens excluded. Please consult a physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
