Do you lose your balance when you close your eyes and you are standing on level ground? You can see a neurologist for an evaluation to be certain there is not an issue. If you keep your balance with your eyes open, then keep them open when going up or down stairs to prevent a fall. Good luck!

Proprioceptive issues, as described may involve inner ear issues, medication side effects, results of recreational drugs, local toxins, vitamin deficiencies, and many other issues. See your doctor and decide whether a neurological or otolaryngological consult may be useful.
