I am an 81 year old male who is very health conscience. I have been active all of my life and continue to try to be. I do light calesthenics and walking.I try to walk at least 1/2 mile twice a day. After reading the information on Leweys I am reminded of 2 symptoms described. One is my lack of balance. I find myself quite unsteady, especially on uneven surfaces. I am unable to stand on one foot without support. Number 2;While walking I find myself having problems walking in a straight line, almost staggering. Are these just signs of aging or should I discuss this with my primary care Physician. I receive all of my health care through the Veterans Administration and am very satisfied with it.Thank You, bigreach.
