Hello,
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to your query.
You need to be examined and evaluated, possibly needing admission for a day or two.

This is because there are too many causes for the complaints of falls with or without fainting.
Conditions like parkinsonism, parkisonson plus syndrome, seizures, transient ischemic attacks, carotid hypersensitivity, BPPV, etc can all be neurological causes of the fall.
There are cardiac causes of fall as well like vasovagal syncope, arrhythmia, orthostatic hypotension and so forth.
Besides, weakness of muscles and bones can also cause the problems.

Therefore I would either need to know more about the symptoms and would need to examine you before I can suggest a possible diagnosis. As is obvious, the treatment would vary significantly.

I therefore request you to either provide greater details of the symptoms or visit a neurologist locally.

I apologize for being of limited use for your query.
Best of luck, Dr Mittal
