What Causes Balance Lose And Dizziness?
I am normally a fast walker and walk a lot. Today, I had a backpack and I felt like I could not force my legs to move. I walked like a drunk. I kept losing my balance. WhenI tried to sit down, i felt like I would fall backwards. I have had 2 lumbar decompression surgeries and a lot of head trauma. I am 71 years old.

Hello,
Please see your doctor or a neurologist. This sounds like something is going on in your brain or cerebellum. Please be seen and examined as soon as possible. Go to emergency or urgent care if you can not get in to see your doctor soon
