Take extra care in walking; take your time, and think ahead, especially in new or unfamiliar places.  When you rise from your chair, stand for a few seconds before walking.

Tell your healthcare providers if you've experienced a fall, or if your're having dizziness, balance or vision problems. The more they know, the more they can help you. Balance classes, physical therapy or occupational therapy can be prescribed, to help you walk more safely and to get up correctly to help you to learn how not to fall.
