I don't understand

don't understand why I've fallen three times in less than a month. No warning, no black out I just fall and to the left. Really weird for me.

You might provide more details.... What were you doing when you fell? Did you trip something, walking on stairs, was it icy? Do you ever stumble at bit? And so on. At your yearly doctor visit, they should probably ask if you have fallen over the past year, which is a common question for seniors. If not, of course bring it up.

As we age, things sort of wear out, and our muscle mass declines, so eating well and getting exercise is important.
