Sign 10: Frequent Falls – More Than Just Clumsiness
Last but not least on our list of CSVD symptoms is frequent falls. This isn’t about being clumsy or careless; it’s about an increased tendency to fall that can’t be explained by external factors. It’s as if the body is losing its balance, hinting at a possible underlying issue like CSVD.
