Off Balance
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone gotten up from being asleep and been extremely off balance, continuously walking to one side? Ithought it was where i sat up fast but it wasn't..I did this the other night and the rest of the day it felt like I was sort of car sick and uneasy. I ended up going to the ER on the advice of my regular Dr., as she said it could be related to epilepsy and labs were good but they didn't check my medication levels.

Here is a list of all of the Herbs and Supplements from the US National Library of Medicine -- which includes details about what each is used for
https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/herb_All.html

For example, if you clicked on Vitamin K on this list these are the details that you would receive: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminK-Cons...
This includes the recommended amounts per day based upon your age and gender.

And it also provides details of foods that can provide Vitamin K rather than using a Vitamin to get it.

I had pre-osteoperosis, and it became Osteoperosis now. I take Calcium and Vitamin D. Someone said if taking D, K should be taken. i do not know enough about it.

My Neurologist did not mention Medication, probably because I could have some kind of exercise instead. I have taken so many and much medications over the years!

I never did pursue it, but my Neurologist said there would be some kind of exercise that could be done at the local Hospital. Instead, what seems to bring it on is sitting up or lying down too quickly. I just have to remember that.

You’re not alone. I too, have to deal with being off balance when waking up. I usually sit up in bed for awhile, until I feel alert and awake enough to stand and walk. Although I sometimes don’t have a choice. If my gull blatter is yelling at me , then I have to get and just catch the wall or anything I can grab on while heading to the bathroom.
