Living alone, walking less, and her daughter has started staying over.

  • Three falls in eight weeks, none with fracture, two in the early hours going to the bathroom.
  • Feels light-headed on standing and has stopped going out alone.
  • Insomnia treated for years; anxiety treated for longer.
  • Recently started on something for an overactive bladder after the night-time trips.
  • Lying and standing blood pressure done today for the first time.
