After mentioning to my psychiatrist that I don't feel steady on my feet, and that I've fallen 4 times since August, he made me promise to see my pcp about it.
The circumstances surrounding the falls I feel like could happen to anybody, there was a reason for most of them (it was dark, and one time I was knocked over by two dogs playing). And I'd been having trouble with my eyesight (secondary cataracts) as well which has since been corrected. I haven't fallen in about a month, but I still have intermittent minor balance issues. When I talked to my pcp (before my eyesight was fixed) he wasn't really worried but still referred me to a neurologist. Now I wonder if I should go, since I haven't had any more falls and my eyesight has been corrected.

Well... I don't really know. From what you wrote, it sounds as though it may not be necessary. But you never know. I have Meniere's Disease... a condition of the inner ear. So I have some balance issues too. I also have a number of other physiological things going on as well. My psychiatrist has urged me to get checked out medically too. But I don't do it. I personally just don't care. However I guess my thinking would be that, unless it's a financial burden for you, go ahead... better safe than sorry... as the saying goes.

I think it would be a good idea to go. Might as well get checked out, since you already have the referral anyway.

I’d get a Neurologist opinion since you already have the appointment
