Abstract
Disequilibrium is typically described as a feeling of dizziness when standing or walking that is not present while sitting or lying down. Since dizziness is such a common symptom in older people, the symptom may be dismissed as a normal aging phenomenon. On the other hand, the patient may be inappropriately given nonspecific treatment for dizziness such as meclizine or diazepam, which may worsen the condition, due to sedation.
