Both feet up?
Does this happen whenever you close your eyes or it took time?
Maybe your balance sense and proprioceptive sense are so bad, a part of your brain thinks you're floating -- then due to your torso is up but your legs are down, and the sensation of not having the control and thus 'adjusting'.
But there's nothing to adjust to compensate (sight, sensation of the ground, unusual position), therefore freaking out?
Or maybe something deep seated. Like going to the dentist and sitting on a dentist chair?
These are
guesses.
How often had you ever sat that way?
Thanks Edna, My (step) daughter gave me the stool on Monday
It doesn't happen whenever I close my eyes. Someone on another forum mentioned proprioception, so that's a good comment. My balance has never been good, but has got even worse in the last 18 months or so . I'm on the waiting list to see a neurologist.
Your comment re adjusting and compensating etc doesn't spring readily to my mind, but it could be true at a subconscious level.
