Tag: Unsteadiness

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide. This condition can cause a range of symptoms, including feeling tired, weak, and yes, it can absolutely make you feel wobbly and unsteady. The root cause is a lack of hemoglobin, which impacts oxygen delivery throughout the body, including to the brain and muscles.

Over 17% of older adults in the U.S. experience dehydration, a condition that can manifest as fatigue, confusion, and most notably, cause you to be unsteady on your feet. This feeling of unsteadiness is not a simple coincidence; it is a direct result of dehydration's systemic effects on blood pressure, circulation, and the body's intricate balance mechanisms.
