  2. Unsteady walking is the inability to walk straight forward or the sensation that you may topple over.
  3. Frequently tripping or falling: An abrupt or persistent loss of balance that results in falls.
  4. Feeling weak or "blacking out" without actually falling is called lightheadedness.
  5. Disorientation is the state of not knowing where you are in space.
  6. Vomiting or nausea: Frequently accompanied by vertigo and lightheadedness.
