Default Which forum for drop attacks?

I am new to this forum and would like to post a question regarding drop attacks but I am not sure where to post it.

By drop attack, I am referring a sudden fall to the ground without warning while standing or walking no disease associated with it and rapid recovery. I have had four such attacks in the past 3 months. Usually have bruises where my body hits the ground, had a black eye, had to go to the ER once for stitches and to the dentist for a broken tooth. I have not had had an injury to my head.

I see a neurologist for obstructive sleep apnea and have reported these attacks to him. He checked my balance and I am unable to walk "the tightrope" without falling over. An MRI also identified an intracranial mass in the area of my cerebellum. He has referred me to a neurosurgeon and a cardiologist and no one can identify a cause for these attacks.

I am 65 years old and in good health. I feel I'm getting the run around from doctors.
