People always thonk I'm drunk

When walking I sometimes sway into people,walls and people always think I am an alcoholic when I haven't had a drink. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS When I try to lean in to kiss someone maybe or to pick up something I almost fall over.

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Feeling drunk, dizzy and as though you have a hangover can be due to menopause. Low estrogen and low thyroid function is often the cause. Liver dysfunction (get liver enzymes done—liver function test), kidney dysfunction (get kidney function test done), and anemia can make a person appear drunk. Poor sleep pattern and sleep problems like sleep apnea too can cause brain fog. Sleep studies by sleep specialists can help diagnose this. Low Vit D or Vit B12 too could be the cause. Side effects of certain medications, street drugs and problems of balance (either in brain or ear) can also make a person appear drunk. Hence there are other causes than taking alcohol that can make a person appear drunk. Please consult a doctor as a comprehensive investigation is required to reach a diagnosis. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.

Hi Eda, you should see a doctor about this, this is not normal. Do you think it is your legs or do you think it is like you don´t have a balance (in your head) ? I hope you get this figured out soon.
My best,
Dagun
