hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As your age is 78, there will be a possibility of degenerative changes in the body. Also, as you have giddiness and imbalance this could be related to the vestibular system and undergoing vestibular exercises for the proper flow of the fluid will help improve the balance and reduce giddiness.

Also, as you find heaviness in legs when you walk, general exercises are recommended at this age to keep the metabolism of the body active. As ageing progresses the weakness in the body starts settling. So doing a regular general exercises will help to regain the muscle strength to the optimum for the requirement of the body.

As I deal regularly with geriatric and understanding their mechanism of ageing I will recommend you the same as I recommend my geriatric patients, Exercise. This is the best way to deal with the symptoms occuring during ageing.
