- Hypotension: Low blood pressure, or hypotension, can sometimes lead to falls, but working with your healthcare provider to find the right treatment can significantly reduce this risk and improve your overall well-being.
- Essential Tremor: If you experience trembling in your hands or other parts of your body, it may be essential tremor, a condition that's often effectively treated with medication or other therapies, enhancing your quality of life.
