Your post most likely describes Alzheimer's disease or normal pressure hydrocephalus, and repetitive falling is not unusual in either disorder. Since you did not reveal the results of the imaging, not clear if any diagnosis has been confirmed on the PET scan. Suggest an easy way to more fully get an evaluation is via a virtual consultation here at HT (www.connect@healthtap.com).
