I fell last week and am afraid especially of falling backwards since I'm on a blood thinner. Does anyone have tips on how to prevent falls?

A physical therapist can help you with exercises to work on strengthening your legs and working on balance. Activities like yoga and tai chi can help with both as well. If your issue is low blood pressure causing dizziness, then a cardiologist may be able to help or you may need to adjust your meds.
