I've noticed that every time I try to stand on one leg with my eyes closed, I lose my balance. Should I be worried about a nervous disorder? Everything's fine when both legs are on the ground or if I have my eyes open standing on one leg. Plus, I'm having a tough time concentrating and remembering things, like names of old friends and terms from books, which started about a year ago. Could these be related?
