“Feeling unsteady?”
For a few days, I have woken up feeling unsteady. By this I mean I feel I need to hold onto something or I might fall. I do not and can walk without holding on but I am unsteady on my feet. It started when I had trouble sleeping so I thought it was that, but it does not seem to be it.

Depending on the degree of unsteadiness this could be normal just from changing positions from supine to standing if done too fast as we age or it could the beginnings of a neurological problem. If this persists you need an evaluation.
Please see your doctor. This could be many different things.
