If you are experiencing new or worsening balance issues, do not stop your medications without consulting your doctor. It may be possible to adjust the dosage, change medications, or manage side effects with safer alternatives.
- Regular Medication Review: Periodically review all medications with your healthcare provider to assess their necessity and potential side effects.
- Monitor for Symptoms: Be vigilant for signs of dizziness, unsteadiness, or falls, and report them to your doctor promptly.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Incorporate balance exercises, ensure proper hydration, and maintain a safe home environment to reduce fall risk.
- Use Assistive Devices: Canes or walkers can provide additional stability if needed.
