Is it normal to feel like you're falling when...

68% Normal

When I close my eyes while standing, I feel like I can't keep my balance, I keep swaying from side to side or back and forth. Even if I try to remain still, it seems impossible to do so. For example: standing at a urinal, I close my eyes, and it feels like I'm going to fall backwards at some point. Is it normal?

Is It Normal?

    I don't know about standing at the urinal because I've never stood at one, but I've known people who said they could not keep their balance when they closed their eyes, so I'd say it's normal.

    Me too, although it's not normally when I'm standing up, it's more when I'm lying down on my back, I keep feeling like the floor is tipping side to side.
