A member asked:
Bloodthinners can blood thinners cause a lack of blood flow to the brain as i feel like i'm falling over unless i'm sitting, running or walking fast.

Likely other cause: The "thinners" reduce clotting, not "water down" the blood. It can increase risk of bleeding in the GI tract, which can cause anemia (alternate kind of "thin" blood), which can cause what you describe--see your dr for exam and blood / stool testing.
