Brief Answer:
Vertigo for evaluation.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

At your age, imbalance can be because of many central and peripheral vestibular disorders like meneires disease, BPPV, labrynthitis, viral infection etc. CT scan is normal and suggests there is no severe lesion in the brain.

This needs clinical evaluation and treatment. There is no over the counter drug for imbalance, all are prescription medicines; so consult with the doctor and get treated.

Hope my answers have helped you.

Thank you.
