A member asked:

So, i realized that when i close my eyes and stand still that i fall to one side completly. and can't stop. is this bad or normal?

Need an exam: Good Morning, You may have a balance disorder. This problem usually does not affect the vision. Please see your family doctor for a proper evaluation. You may need to see a ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist and/or a neurologist. Good luck and feel better...
