Hello,
The reason of loss of body balance may be connected to your cerebellum/internal ear or muscles.
I advise you to visit a neurologist first. Detailed medical history and clinical examination will be necessary.
Do not directly opt for CT scan. MRI Angiography may also be needed. Have an appointment with your doctor for that and let him/her decide which investigations to go for.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
