Balance problems aren’t just an issue for older adults. If you’re under 60 and feeling unsteady, it’s worth paying attention.

Maybe you’ve started holding onto walls when you walk, avoiding stairs or feeling off balance when you turn quickly. You might even be tripping more often or experiencing dizziness.

There are many possible causes and many are treatable. Balance depends on your inner ear, vision, nerves, muscles, joints and brain so an issue in any of these areas can affect how steady you feel. Medications, dehydration, low blood pressure, migraines, anxiety, poor sleep, injuries and inner-ear problems can all play a role.

Balance problems can happen before age 60. Banner Health explains the subtle warning signs, common causes and when adults under 60 should see a doctor.

The good news? Resentment doesn't necessarily mean a relationship is doomed.

Resentment in a relationship can damage trust and emotional safety. Learn how resentment grows in relationships and ways you can rebuild trust and safety.
